West Bengal Results 2026: ‘Stay Alert Through The Night,’ Mamata Banerjee Urges TMC Workers

Kolkata: Just before the results of West Bengal Assembly elections, political temperature has risen. Making serious allegations, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said worrying reports are coming from many places: electricity is being deliberately cut, CCTVs are being switched off and movement of suspicious vehicles has been seen near the strong room.

In which areas questions were raised?

Taking the name clearly, Mamata Banerjee said that such incidents have been reported from Serampur in Hooghly, Krishnanagar in Nadia, Ausgram in Bardhaman and some centers in Kolkata. According to her, this is not a mere coincidence but a well-planned conspiracy.

What instructions for the workers?

Mamta asked her workers to stay awake throughout the night and keep an eye on the counting centers and strong rooms. She said, “If you notice any irregularity, immediately file a complaint and demand to show CCTV footage.” The TMC chief alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was behind all these incidents. However, till now no official response has come from BJP.
