The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has leveled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding electoral fraud in the upcoming West Bengal elections. TMC claims that CCTV footage shows ballot boxes being opened without the presence of relevant party stakeholders, which they describe as a 'murder of democracy in broad daylight.' TMC leaders, including Shashi Panja and Kunal Ghosh, have initiated protests outside the Netaji Indoor Stadium, while TMC chief Mamata Banerjee plans to visit the site to assess the situation. In response, ECI officials have stated that all strong rooms containing Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were securely closed and sealed in front of candidates and observers, denying any wrongdoing. The TMC has expressed concern over the lack of transparency in the electoral process and is demanding accountability from both the BJP and the ECI.
