Assembly elections 2026 LIVE: Repolling set to be carried out across 15 booths in West Bengal today
BJP strategy to defame Bengal: TMC’s Shashi Panja alleges poll-day provocation after EC orders repoll
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shashi Panja on Friday (May 1) alleged that the BJP had tried to “provoke” other parties on polling day to trigger large-scale repolling and “defame Bengal,” after the Election Commission ordered repolling in 15 booths in South 24 Parganas on Saturday (May 2).
Addressing the media after meeting the Additional Chief Electoral Officer, Panja said, “We are meeting with the Additional Chief Electoral Officer. Strong room CCTVs are not working properly in some places. So, we demand that the EC take proper care of this. Why is the process not fully transparent?”
