BJP alleges booth capturing even before voting
Before the voting of Panchayat elections in West Bengal, BJP has accused of booth capturing. BJP IT cell head, Amit Malviya claimed that West Bengal is likely to vote for panchayats tomorrow, July 8, but TMC goons are already trying to capture booths.
Sharing a video on Twitter, he wrote, “In this video villagers of Kanchrapara GP, Booth-129, North 24 Parganas can be seen retaliating. SEC (State Election Commissioner) willfully failed to implement court orders Is.”
Governor visited Murshidabad
West Bengal Governor CV Anand Bose arrived in Murshidabad on Friday to tour the violence-affected areas, a day before the panchayat elections in the state. PTI quoted an official as saying that the governor reached district headquarters Berhampur by train on Friday morning and left for Kolkata in the evening. The governor had earlier visited Bhangar, Canning and Basanti in South 24 Parganas district and Coochbehar district where clashes between political parties had taken place.
The governor had accused the SEC
Governor Bose had on Thursday alleged that the State Election Commissioner (SEC) Rajeev Sinha had failed to discharge his duties in the panchayat elections. In a press conference, he had asked Sinha to ensure the safety of the people during the elections.
