Denied Entry: Mamata Banerjee

Mamata Banerjee had arrived at the counting center in Bhabanipur, where she claimed that despite possessing an ID card, she was denied entry. She remarked, "The BJP is a party of demons; they have looted over 100 seats and engaged in deceit. The Election Commission has become the 'BJP Commission'."

'I have lodged complaints'

She alleged, "I have lodged complaints I complained to Manoj Agarwal, and I complained to everyone: the West Bengal CEO, the RO, and the DEO yet they are doing nothing. They refused to let me inside. I possess an ID card, yet they are still preventing me from entering. This is not a moral victory; it is an immoral victory. The actions taken by the Election Commission, the Central Forces, the Prime Minister, and the Home Minister are completely illegal. From the very beginning starting with the manipulation of the SIR and extending to the looting of EVM machines they have orchestrated all of this deliberately. It has been nothing but loot, loot, and more loot."

I Was Attacked Inside The Counting Center: Mamata

Mamata claimed, "I, too, was not allowed to enter. This is biased. You can see the CRPF right there. They shoved me and assaulted me right in front of the CRPF. They have deployed goons everywhere. I am a candidate, yet they still refused to let me inside."

Mamata Banerjee also alleged that she was attacked inside the counting center. She stated, "They have been assaulting us since 3:00 PM; they kicked me, switched off the CCTV cameras, and prevented one of our agents from entering. I managed to get inside for just five minutes, during which I requested that they allow our agent to enter. They assured me that they would let him in, but subsequently, no one was available to assist. I have lodged complaints everywhere."
