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.
