Mamata Banerjee’s urgent visit to the strongroom at Sakhawat Memorial School in Kolkata on May 1, 2026, highlights her allegations of widespread EVM tampering amid the election counting process. She spent approximately three and a half hours there, raising concerns about the integrity of the election.

Banerjee claimed that the central government was involved in EVM tampering. She accused the Election Commission of bias against her party, asserting that her party agents were arrested in many places. Her comments come as votes are set to be counted for elections in four states and one union territory on May 4, 2026.

In her statements, Banerjee expressed confidence in her party’s victory despite these challenges. She called for maintaining a peaceful atmosphere during the elections. The Election Commission has not yet responded to her allegations.

Key quotes:

The central government is involved in EVM tampering, and we will stop it — Mamata Banerjee and I will fight against this for a lifetime — Mamata Banerjee.

As tensions rise ahead of the vote counting, it remains unclear how these claims will impact public perception and election outcomes.
