Reaffirming my electoral estimates:
In Assam, the BJP is expected to secure between 74 and 96 seats, indicating a strong majority trajectory.
In Tamil Nadu, the DMK-led alliance appears poised to retain its advantage.TVK will emerge as a strong force in Dravidian bastion.
In Puducherry, the NDA+ alliance is likely to maintain its position.
@BefittingFacts@ECISVEEP@CEOWestBengal UP,Bihar me similar incidents bhot baar ho chuka hai. But road,river me aise hi throw kar dena bhi galat hai (I agree with you on this matter).
No matter how much @ECISVEEP and @CEOWestBengal claim about free and fair election, they have failed in every thing.
Now 100s VVPAT slips found in Madhamgram.
Gyanesh should responsbility and resign from his post if he cant suspend the CAPF and RO.
#Breaking: Just hours before counting of votes begin in #WestBengal, hundreds of VVPAT slips found in a garbage dump in Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas district.
The CEO of West Bengal has sought a report from the DEO of North 24 Parganas.
(This was why they was insisting on local Counting supervisors, this could have been used in case of mismatch while physical counting, if they can manipulate EVM numbers at time of counting)
#UPDATE | District Election Officer North 24 Parganas tweets, "Upon examination, it has been found that the VVPAT paper slips shown are related to a mock poll done before poll day and are not related to the actual poll conducted on poll day. A detailed enquiry has been initiated, and a formal complaint has been lodged for verification & action."
#WATCH | North 24 Parganas | West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026 | VVPAT slips allegedly from booth number 29 of Noapara Assembly were found discarded in Subhashnagar of Ichapur Nilganj Panchayat of Madhyamgram Assembly, a day before the vote counting was scheduled in the state.
CPIM candidate from the seat, Gargi Chatterjee, and the Police reached the spot.
Trinankur Bhattacharjee from TMC and Arjun Singh from BJP are also contesting the Assembly elections from this seat.
The CEO of West Bengal has sought a report from the DEO of North 24 Parganas after VVPAT slips were found lying on the street near Subhas Nagar Petrol Pump in Nilganj Subhasnagar, under the Madhyamgram Assembly Constituency.
@ANI Yeh candidate hain inko yeh pata nahi hai kuch DUMMY and Faulty EVM & VVPAT hota hai. Saalo agar itna pata nahi hai then election kyun ladhte ho ???
#WATCH | North 24 Parganas, West Bengal | CPIM candidate from the seat, Gargi Chatterjee, says, "This is the state of the Election Commission. It isn't the 'Nirvachan' Commission. It's 'Nirjatan' (oppressive) Commission... Some slips of my name, some of the BJP, and two to three slips of the TMC candidate are lying here... A worker from our party saw this here. He called me. We called the CEO, but he doesn't have time for the CPIM... We'll demand an investigation, and the counting process can't start till they show us the EVM unit... Most of the slips are of my name... I will call it the Election Commission's fault..."
Hundreds of VVPAT slips of Booth No. 29 located in Garulia, under 107- Noapara Assembly Constituency have been found in a
garbage at Subhas Nagar under Duttapukur Police Station and under Madhyamgram Assembly Constituency.
How is it possible?
The VVPAT slips must have been kept with the concerned EVM at the strong room but it has been thrown in garbage.
I request the @ECISVEEP and @CEOWestBengal to look into this and identify the culprits responsible for this incident. And also ensure that the counting process is not vitiated.
@SpokespersonECI
Locals have discovered VVPAT slips of Noapara Assembly at Madhyamgram. Location of both are different. Assuming this are from mock polling, but then also it shouldn't be on road. @ECISVEEP clarification is awaited
@MeghUpdates Bengal right now has huge number of central forces, why they didnt do such tight security since day one? Why always late? Mamata ko halkey mai lena bhari parega inko kisi din.
