Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 1 (ANI): Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury alleged on Saturday that there are "lakhs of fake voters" in West Bengal and termed the Bengal government an "expert in making false voters".
"There are lakhs of fake voters here; wherever the ruling party indulges in rigging, whether it is Maharashtra or Bengal, you will definitely find fake voters there and not just one but in lakhs. The Bengal government is an expert in making fake voters not from today but from many years, that is why this place is full of fake voters..." Chowdhury told ANI.
Congress leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir, speaking to ANI in Kolkata on the issue of alleged fake voters, said, "We raised this issue in Maharashtra, the way the number of fake voters increased drastically, and now it has been found that the people who were put into the voter list do not exist in real life. Congress has also decided that we are creating a separate national-level war room to monitor the voter list... Wherever elections are held, the war room will work with the state control room... We have to do some monitoring at our level and intervene in time to stop this..."
West Bengal's Chief Electoral Officer has refuted the claims of Mamata Banerjee's allegation of manipulation in the electoral process.
The West Bengal CEO posted on X and said, "As per RP Act 1950, Registration of Electors Rules 1960 and Manual on Electoral Rolls, concerned BLOs, AEROs, EROs, DEOs and CEOs in any State/UT work for the updation of Electoral Rolls."
"This is done with active participation of Booth Level Agents appointed by political parties. Any specific claim or objections are to be made first before the concerned 80,633 BLOs, 3,049 AEROs and 294 EROs in West Bengal," the CEO said.
On Thursday, Mamata Banerjee formed a committee to check the irregularities in the voters' list in every district of West Bengal.
CM Mamata Banerjee had said, "Sitting in the Election Commissioner's office, they have created a fake voter's list online, and in every district of West Bengal, fake voters have been added. Using this trick, they have won elections in Delhi and Maharashtra. The opposition in Maharashtra could not find out these facts. Most of the fake voters are from Haryana and Gujarat. BJP is manipulating voters list with the blessing of EC, Bengal's culture gave rise to independence." (ANI)
