Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo and West Bengal Chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she is "110 per cent confident" of winning the upcoming state assembly election. Speaking at an event organised by a media house in Kolkata, she said her party will win at least 221 seats in the assembly elections.

With dates of the West Bengal elections expected to be announced soon and election campaign intensifying, Mamata Banerjee spoke on a range of topics relating to the election, the challenge posed by the BJP this time and her government's performance.

On being asked about number seats she is expecting to win, she said, "My level of confidence is 110 per cent. I won't say how many seats we will win, but it will definitely be more than what we have won in the last two elections. It won't be less than 221 seats."

Describing about the key issues inthe elections, she said, "See, the biggest issue in Bengal is the free ration that we provide to a population of 10 crore. It is provided totally free and is fully subsidised. We have also provided health insurance worth 5 lakh to all families. So, food is free, health is free and education is also free. 99.99% of the state's population has been covered by some scheme or the other. That is my advantage and it will continue.

People often ask me what your party's ideology is. I say we are for the people. Of the people, by the people, for the people. We believe we are for democracy. We will do what people want."
