Mamata Banerjee alleged serious irregularities in the Bhabanipur counting process after losing to Suvendu Adhikari by 15,105 votes. In a phone call shared by Kalyan Banerjee, she claimed “goons” entered counting centres, assaulted her, and removed TMC agents with support from officials and security forces. She also alleged EVM mishandling, lack of sealing, and denial of access during crucial final rounds. Calling the result a “stolen verdict” and “unethical dirty game,” Banerjee said evidence has been documented and the outcome will be legally challenged, intensifying the already volatile political confrontation in West Bengal following the high-stakes election.
