In West Bengal, India, tensions flared as Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidates Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of tampering with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the recent elections. The allegations led to protests at Khudiram Anushilan Kendra in Kolkata, where TMC workers staged a dharna. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called for vigilance over EVM strong rooms, personally overseeing one in Bhabanipur constituency. The political atmosphere remains polarized, with BJP workers celebrating favorable exit polls, while TMC mobilized its cadres to secure counting centers amidst allegations of intimidation by central forces. This election cycle was marked by a record voter turnout of 92.95%, with 27.16 lakh names removed from the electoral roll, raising concerns about the integrity of the voting process. As the counting day approaches, the stakes are high for both parties, with the BJP aiming for a breakthrough in a state traditionally dominated by the TMC.
