The New Indian Express Thrissur
|February 28, 2025
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the BJP of adding fake voters from other states to the electoral rolls with the alleged backing of the Election Commission (EC), claiming that the party had used similar tactics to secure victories in the Delhi and Maharashtra assembly elections.
Speaking at a Trinamool Congress state conference, Banerjee raised concerns over the appointment of Gyanesh Kumar as the Chief Election Commissioner, alleging that the BJP was attempting to exert influence over the constitutional body. "It is evident how the BJP is tampering with the voters' list with the blessings of the Election Commission," she alleged.
