Ahead of the vote counting on May 4, West Bengal is witnessing a TMC vs BJP war over allegations involving EVM tampering and strongroom. After these allegations, BJP candidate from Maniktala constituency, Tapas Roy, got into a verbal altercation with the Bengal Police.

A 22-year-old woman’s surgery photos, showing her face and private parts, were leaked and circulated on WhatsApp groups, prompting an investigation in Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh.

ECI has rejected allegations of TMC about “opening of ballot boxes” and has clarified that strong rooms containing polled EVMs are safely secured and sealed.
