People are turning out in large numbers and voting. Game on!"
In another tweet, he said, "EVMs found in TMC leaders house in Uluberia Uttar, Howrah district, a seat going to poll TODAY. The TMC is trying everything - from intimidating voters to stealing EVMs but nothing seems to be working for them. Voters have deserted them."
