Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, India, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating harassment against Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers during the ongoing vote counting process. She urged counting agents and candidates to remain vigilant and not abandon their posts, claiming that the BJP's strategy involves showing early leads while suppressing TMC results. Banerjee reported incidents of halted vote counting at nearly 100 locations and alleged that seven Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were found tampered with in Kalyani. She criticized the Election Commission for its perceived bias and suggested that local police were under pressure from central authorities. Despite these challenges, Banerjee expressed confidence in TMC's performance, stating that they are leading in 70 to 100 seats and urged her supporters to remain hopeful as the counting process continues.
