Bengal Politics Erupts Over EVM-VVPAT Controversy; Mamata Levels Serious Allegations
The political atmosphere in West Bengal has become tense ahead of the vote counting for the state assembly elections. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to social media late at night to allege that "suspicious movements" are taking place.
The Trinamool Congress has alleged that rules are being violated at several vote-counting centers. Specifically, claims were made that certain vehicles—bearing party flags—were granted entry into the centers, thereby casting a shadow of doubt over the transparency of the electoral process.
Furthermore, an incident came to light just hours before the counting of votes, wherein a large number of VVPAT slips were discovered lying along a roadside. This incident has heightened concerns regarding the security of the electoral process.
Mamata Banerjee had previously expressed suspicions regarding potential EVM tampering and had declared that she would wage a "battle for life and death" to safeguard the integrity of the election process.
Meanwhile, she also raised questions regarding exit polls, alleging that they are being "manipulated to influence the stock market," while simultaneously expressing confidence that her party would secure a resounding victory.
