Banerjee suspected that during the Assam Assembly elections on April 9, 2026, the BJP brought in a "trainload of 50,000 people" from Uttar Pradesh. She claimed the BJP took this decision because they were "not confident of victory" with the votes of the local residents of the northeastern state. She cautioned that the BJP is attempting a similar "voter hijacking" in West Bengal by bringing in non-residents from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to influence the polls scheduled for April 23 and 29, in WB.

The Chief Minister and the TMC have recently highlighted what they call a systematic attempt to alter Bengal's demography. On March 31, 2026, violence erupted outside the CEO office in Kolkata after the TMC alleged that BJP agents were caught submitting thousands of fraudulent Form 6 applications for outsiders.

TMC’s General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee said that at least 30,000 such applications were submitted in bulk to "import" voters from neighbouring states. Pakistan's Peace Brokerage Under Fire: Will the Islamabad Accord Collapse?

At a press conference in Murshidabad on April 5, Mamata Banerjee urged her booth agents to be extremely vigilant, alleging that after voting, central forces might attempt to "hack" or replace EVMs. Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has filed a complaint against the CM, accusing her of provoking voters against Central forces.
