West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee arrived at the Sakhawat Memorial counting hall in Kolkata as vote counting for the 2026 Assembly elections got underway. Her presence comes amid heightened political tension and close scrutiny over strongroom security, EVM handling, and earlier allegations exchanged between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP. The counting centre is one of the key locations where results will shape the state’s next government. Banerjee has repeatedly urged party workers to remain vigilant throughout counting day, reflecting the high stakes surrounding the Bengal contest. With trends expected to emerge through the day, all eyes are now on Kolkata and the final outcome in the crucial hours ahead now.
