KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is enrolling fake voters from other states in the electoral rolls with the help of the Election Commission (EC) and warned of an indefinite protest sit-in before the poll body’s office if corrective measures are not taken.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mamata Banerjee addressing a TMC conference in Kolkata, also questioned the appointment of Gyanesh Kumar as the chief election commissioner, saying 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.

“If I can go on a 26 days hunger strike (during the anti-land acquisition movement in 2006), then we can start a movement against the Election Commission too. If needed, we can go for dharna before the Election Commission’s office for an indefinite period to press for a demand to correct voter rolls and remove fake electors,” Banerjee said.

She said that the BJP had used similar tactics in Delhi and Maharashtra by enrolling voters from Haryana and Gujarat to manipulate elections.

“In Delhi and Maharashtra, the BJP had won elections by enrolling fake voters from Haryana and Gujarat. The party will bring these fake voters from Haryana and Gujarat and try to win elections in which Banerjee accused the BJP of ensuring enrolment of fake voters from other states in various districts of West Bengal with the help of the EC”, she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
