Mamata Banerjee, addressing her first press conference after her party's national election setback in Bengal, said she did not want to continue as chief minister and had told her Trinamool Congress that.

"I have told my party, for six months I have been unable to work. I was a powerless chief minister. I cannot accept that. I don't want to continue as chief minister. The chair is nothing for me. Party symbol is most important for me," Mamata Banerjee told reporters.

The BJP achieved a remarkable score in West Bengal, a long-term left stronghold turned Trinamool territory. It won 18 of the state's 42 Lok Sabha seats, in a massive improvement over its 2014 tally of two seats. Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool won 22.
