Former Chief Minister of West Bengal and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee released a video message of about 32 minutes on 24 May 2026. This message was addressed to the people of Bengal and TMC workers. This video came at a time when TMC faced a big defeat in the 2026 assembly elections and BJP won the Falta seat with a thumping victory. In the video, Mamata Banerjee appeared in a calm but very strict and emotional manner. He refused to accept the election results as the real decision of the public and alleged that there was large-scale rigging, violence and interference by the central government in the elections.

Mamata Banerjee claimed that EVM data was tampered with during the elections and the results were manipulated. She alleged that on many seats the results were suddenly changed in the later rounds. She also said that TMC agents were thrown out of the counting centre, their workers were beaten up at many places and people from the BJP IT cell allegedly accessed the data system. Mamata claimed that her party had won the election morally, but was shown defeat due to rigging.
