LUCKNOW, May 7 -- Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday demanded that the Supreme Court take cognisance of the vote-counting process in West Bengal and make CCTV footage public. He alleged that what Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee is facing now is similar to what his party experienced during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow on Wednesday, Yadav questioned the fairness of the recently concluded polls, in which the BJP secured a landslide victory, winning 207 seats and ending the TMC's 15-year rule in the state. "When court proceedings can be live-streamed, why can the vote-counting process not be broadcast live?" Yadav asked. "Why is CCTV not live? Why are they so afraid of it? Our demand is that the Supreme Court should immediately take cognisance of the West Bengal polls and make the counting footage public," he added. "We all know what is happening in West Bengal today. We saw in the recent by-elections in Uttar Pradesh how the police and administration stopped voters from casting their votes. The Kundarki bypoll is a clear example of how things were manipulated," he said....
