The name of councillor Ashok Rudra, along with those of his family members, is missing from the 2002 voters’ list of the Hirapur Assembly constituency (now Asansol South), he alleged.
Mr Rudra is the councillor of Ward No. 78 of Asansol Municipal Corporation (AMC) and a former state president of the Trinamul Chhatra Parishad.
Addressing a Press conference at his Burnpur office today, the TMC teacher cell leader alleged that the BJP, in conspiracy with the Election Commission of India, has deliberately deleted his name and those of his family members from the 2002 voters list of the Hirapur Assembly seat.
