A day after the TMC alleged that the Election Commission had ordered “intrusive checks” on its leaders’ vehicles, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday (April 15, 2026) alleged that central forces tried to search her car while she was traveling to the Kolkata airport earlier in the day.
Addressing an election rally in Uttar Dinajpur district, Ms. Banerjee said that if the central forces had the guts, they could check her car every day.
“Central forces tried to check my car when I was going to Kolkata airport today. If you have guts, you check my car every day,” she said.
The TMC on Tuesday claimed that only its leaders, namely Abhishek Banerjee, were “selected for intrusive checks” on their vehicles by security personnel deputed for the West Bengal Assembly elections on “targeted instructions” from the Election Commission.
