Mamata Banerjee has alleged possible manipulation of Electronic Voting Machines in West Bengal, warning of a “life-and-death” struggle if irregularities occur during counting. She visited a strongroom in Kolkata’s Bhabanipur and urged party workers to maintain round-the-clock vigilance. The All India Trinamool Congress claims to have seen suspicious activity via CCTV, alleging collusion between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Election Commission of India. However, the poll body has firmly denied all allegations, stating strongrooms are secure and procedures followed. BJP leaders dismissed Banerjee’s claims as fear-driven “theatrics” ahead of the May 4 results.
