West Bengal’s political temperature surged ahead of vote counting as Mamata Banerjee made a sudden visit to a strong room at Shekhawat Memorial Girls’ High School in Kolkata. The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) alleged attempts to tamper with EVMs and manipulate counting, prompting Banerjee to лично inspect the facility after reviewing CCTV footage. She strongly accused the Election Commission of India, central forces, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of bias and warned of resistance against any malpractice. Bhabanipur, a high-stakes constituency, has drawn national attention, especially with BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari in focus. TMC and BJP workers gathered outside, leading to tense face-offs and slogan-shouting, though security forces managed the situation. Banerjee urged party workers to remain vigilant and guard counting centers round the clock. With exit polls predicting a close contest, tensions remain high as both parties prepare for the crucial results day.
