Mamata Banerjee Claims Power Cuts, CCTV Tampering
“I’m receiving reports from various places that load-shedding is being deliberately imposed. From Hooghly’s Serampore, Nadia’s Krishnanagar, to Burdwan’s Ausgram, and Kolkata’s Kshudiram Anushilan Kendra, such incidents have come to light where load-shedding is being done in phases, CCTV is being turned off, and vehicles are moving in and out of strong rooms,” she wrote in her post.
Banerjee said she is calling upon her party workers to stay awake all night like her and keep an eye on everything, and guard the strong rooms, where people’s votes are stored. “If anyone acts suspicious, surround them, file complaints immediately, and ask for CCTV footage. BJP is behind all this,” she said.

West Bengal Poll Controversy, Mamata Banerjee Takes Shots At BJP
Mamata Banerjee has made these kinds of allegations before during assembly elections. The TMC already claimed there was ballot tampering in Kolkata. Banerjee even told party workers to stay up all night and guard the EVM strongrooms.
