"Got kicked and threw outside the counting centre yesterday" Mamata Banerjee Alleges Assault

Mamata Banerjee has alleged that she was physically assaulted and forcibly removed from a counting centre during the ongoing West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, intensifying political tensions in the state.
Claiming misconduct during the counting process, the Trinamool Congress leader said she was “kicked in the belly and backside” and thrown out of the centre, raising serious concerns over the conduct of election proceedings.
The allegations come amid a dramatic political shift in West Bengal, where the Bharatiya Janata Party has registered a sweeping victory, crossing the majority mark with a significant lead.
The results signal a major turnaround in the state’s political landscape, ending over a decade of dominance by the Trinamool Congress under Banerjee’s leadership.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the outcome as a historic moment, highlighting a decisive shift in voter sentiment. The BJP’s rise in the state has been gradual over the past decade, culminating in its strongest performance yet.
Adding to the setback for the TMC, Banerjee also faced defeat in the Bhabanipur constituency, losing to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
Political observers attribute the BJP’s surge to multiple factors, including anti-incumbency, organisational expansion, and changes in voter dynamics.
The situation remains fluid, with further details awaited regarding Banerjee’s allegations and any official response from election authorities.
