TMC deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, Sagarika Ghose, on Monday, May 4, alleged Election Commission of India (ECI) saying, a delay in vote counting in the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, which went to polls in two phases last month.
As counting trends put the BJP ahead of the TMC in the state, Ghose, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), claimed that trends for around 100 seats were not yet uploaded by the ECI on its official website.
“Trends for 100 seats have still not been uploaded by the ECI. Why this delay in counting? Why is counting so slow? Why only one or two rounds counted until now?" Ghose asked in the post.
