West Bengal Elections | Mamata Cries 'Black Day', EC Rejects Rigging Charges In Bengal

Political tensions are escalating in West Bengal following the defeat of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. She has launched a strong attack on the Election Commission of India, calling the election a "black day for democracy" and alleging large-scale irregularities, including stolen seats and interference at polling and counting centres. Abhishek Banerjee backed the claims, demanding release of CCTV footage. Leaders from the INDIA bloc, including Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, have supported Mamata's allegations. However, the Election Commission has rejected all charges, stating no complaints were filed and CCTV systems were fully functional.
