KOLKATA: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of enrolling fake voters from other states in the electoral rolls with the "help of the Election Commission" (EC) and warned of an indefinite dharna before the poll body's office if corrective measures are not taken.
Addressing a Trinamool Congress (TMC) conference here, Banerjee also questioned the appointment of Gyanesh Kumar as the chief election commissioner, alleging that the BJP was "trying to influence" the constitutional body.
"How the BJP is manipulating voters' list with the blessings of Election Commission is very much clear," she claimed.
