Allegations of serious poll-day disruption have emerged from a polling booth in Panihati during the West Bengal Elections 2026. BJP candidate Ratna Debnath has claimed she was allegedly targeted earlier in the day by individuals who raised slogans against her, while also alleging police inaction when she sought intervention. The situation escalated further at a polling booth where an ink blot was reportedly found on the BJP symbol button on an Electronic Voting Machine, making it unclear for voters. The ink was later removed using sanitiser after objections were raised by polling agents and officials present at the site. The incident led to temporary confusion and delays, with local voters reportedly waiting for an extended period. Tension also rose outside the booth as party workers and supporters gathered, leading to a heated atmosphere on the ground. Jay Saha, Chief Election Agent for BJP candidate Ratna Debnath, was present at the location during the incident. The situation reportedly involved exchanges between political workers, further escalating tensions. Election authorities are yet to issue a detailed official statement regarding the sequence of events or any corrective action taken. All claims remain allegations at this stage and are subject to verification.
