Voting is ongoing for the second phase of elections in West Bengal. BJP claims TMC used tape to block voting options for them in several polling booths. This situation has raised serious allegations of election fraud.
Key allegations:
- BJP accused TMC of sticking tape on EVM buttons to block votes for BJP.
- TMC denied the allegations made by BJP.
- BJP’s media in-charge Amit Malviya demanded re-voting at affected booths.
- The alleged fraud is referred to as the ‘Diamond Harbour model’ by BJP.
TMC has countered by accusing the election commission and observer of failing to ensure fair voting. Abhishek Banerjee is considered a strong candidate in the Falta area. The situation remains tense as both parties prepare for potential fallout from these allegations.
