"Gautam Deb is not the candidate, Wilson Champramary is not the candidate, Shanta Chetri is not the candidate. Mamata Banerjee is the candidate in all 294 seats," she told an election meeting here on the last day of her campaign in north Bengal.
"Whenever the people needed me I came. It is my duty to serve the people. I came to north Bengal 100 times," she asserted.
The CM also slammed the Left Front for "doing nothing and selling out the state during its 34 years of rule".
Mamata said her government never discriminated against people on the basis of party colour, adding eight crore people were getting rice at Rs 2 a kg under her dispensation.

Banerjee, who alleged that a certain media group has joined hands with opposition to discredit her, commented "If someone threatens me, I roar back. I am keeping track of every canard spread against us."
The TMC supremo was speaking in favour of her party's candidate from Memari, Nargis Begum.
Later on, she also took part in a road show in the area.
