BJP vs TMC: Allegations and Counterclaims Emerge in West Bengal By-Elections

Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari alleged that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) prevented genuine voters from casting ballots in the recent West Bengal by-elections. Adhikari and fellow BJP members protested outside Raj Bhavan. TMC leader Kunal Ghosh dismissed the claims, attributing BJP’s frustration to repeated electoral losses. The TMC won all four contested assembly seats.

Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari alleged on Sunday that the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) prevented thousands of genuine voters from exercising their right to vote in the recent by-elections for four assembly seats in West Bengal.

Adhikari, who protested outside the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata against alleged post-poll violence, said he would bring 100 affected voters to the Governor's House to file formal complaints with the Election Commission.

Responding to the allegations, senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh accused the BJP of fabricating claims due to their repeated electoral defeats in West Bengal. The TMC won all four assembly seats contested in the July 10 by-elections.
