West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress (TMC) General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee will conduct a virtual meeting with counting agents on May 2, two days before the counting of votes scheduled for May 4. This meeting will include agents from the 291 Assembly constituencies where TMC candidates are contesting. The leaders aim to ensure that the counting agents are well-prepared and understand their responsibilities to prevent any lapses during the counting process. The meeting follows previous interactions held during the electoral roll revision, although no meetings occurred after the announcement of the state polls in March. Concerns have been raised by TMC regarding transparency and possible malpractice, especially after Mamata Banerjee spent hours at the EVM strongroom in her Bhabanipur constituency, alleging potential tampering. The Election Commission has introduced QR codes for enhanced security during the counting process. In response to rising tensions, prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS have been imposed around all designated strong rooms in Kolkata to maintain order as supporters from both TMC and BJP gathered outside counting venues.
