West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday (April 29, 2026) accused the BJP of trying to “rig” the West Bengal assembly elections, alleging that central forces and election observers were acting at the behest of the saffron party.
The BJP, however, dismissed her allegations, accusing her of “trying to create confusion sensing public anger against the TMC”.
