West Bengal BJP MP Agnimitra Paul has accused the Mamata Banerjee government of orchestrating an election win propped up by 58 lakh fraudulent voters. In a hard-hitting speech, she tore into the TMC, labeling their triumph as ‘victory by deception’ and demanding swift corrective measures.
Paul detailed how bogus entries bloated voter lists, enabling TMC to manipulate outcomes in pivotal areas. ‘Mamata ji’s regime survives on 58 lakh ghosts in the electoral rolls,’ she quipped, rallying supporters to fight for clean polls. The statement has reverberated through political circles, amplifying BJP’s narrative of TMC overreach.
Supporting her claims with figures from electoral records, Paul identified hotspots of alleged irregularities, urging the Election Commission to purge the lists. This isn’t the first time such charges have surfaced; BJP has consistently flagged voter fraud as a TMC tactic.
Unfazed, TMC dismissed the outburst as ‘election-time drama’ by a floundering BJP. They emphasized their clean track record and voter trust earned through welfare schemes. Yet, the controversy refuses to die down, with opposition leaders echoing Paul’s demands for transparency.
The face-off signals escalating hostilities ahead of future elections. Paul’s forthright criticism not only challenges TMC’s legitimacy but also galvanizes the BJP base. Stakeholders watch closely as this could trigger broader investigations into Bengal’s voting process.
