Bengal Turned into a Fortress | Gyanesh Kumar Told TMC to “Get Lost” | 2.55 Lakh CAPF Troops in WB

The video opens by describing the increasing tension between the Election Commission and Mamata Didi's TMC. Derek O'Brien's complaint to the Election Commission and his subsequent claim of being told to 'get lost' are discussed, amidst the Election Commission's unyielding stance.

A crucial development is the deployment of 150 additional companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) to Bengal, bringing the total to 2550 companies, equivalent to 2.55 lakh personnel. This force significantly outnumbers the West Bengal police and will be under strict supervision by the Chief Electoral Officer, Manoj Agarwal, who is described as impartial and unyielding to political pressure.

The Election Commission's tweet to the Trinamool Congress outlines its commitment to a free and fair election. Key assurances include 'no fear, no violence, no intimidation, no inducement,' and significantly, 'no chappa' (electoral rigging).

The video details past electoral malpractices like 'chappa' (where votes of absent, shifted, or dead individuals were cast) which occurred in 60% of booths previously. To combat this, 100% webcasting and CCTV monitoring are implemented, managed by external companies. A new device will alert if more than one person approaches an EVM. Furthermore, 'booth jamming' and 'source jamming' (preventing voters from leaving their homes) will be prevented, with CAPF personnel ensuring voter access and patrolling residential areas.

Significant reforms are planned for counting booths. Past issues involved either bribing polling agents or forcibly removing them to manipulate results. The Election Commission is now aware of these tactics, including discrepancies between EVM readings and tabulation sheets, and has put measures in place to prevent them.
