Leader of Opposition in the Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said the BJP lost because of several leaders' overconfidence that the party would get over 170 seats.
At a party meeting in Purba Medinipur district, Adhikari said this smugness and overconfidence led to lack of understanding of the emerging ground situation.
The BJP leader said continuing work at the ground level was equally important as setting up targets, which was realistic but needed hard work.
Reacting to Adhikari's claims, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said: "The BJP was living in a fool's paradise as many of their leaders predicted that the saffron camp will cross 200 seats. Why he is finding fault with others? Didn't Suvendu also boast repeatedly that his party will get 180 seats at least?".
