Mamata Banerjee writes to CEC, accuses BJP of misusing Form 6 to enrol fake voters

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to the Chief Election Commissioner levelling serious charges against the BJP. She has accused the BJP of misusing Form 6, which is used for enrolling new voters, to bring in outsiders as fake voters into West Bengal's electoral rolls. Banerjee alleges that the BJP is manipulating poll forms to commit voter fraud. She further claims that the BJP has followed the same pattern in Bihar, Maharashtra and Delhi earlier, and is now attempting the same in West Bengal. Trinamool Congress number two Abhishek Banerjee visited the Chief Electoral Officer's office in Calcutta, where he levelled similar allegations. The Trinamool Congress has also released footage which they claim is from inside the CEO's office, showing bulk Form 6 submissions by the BJP for addition of names to Bengal's electoral rolls. The Chief Electoral Officer, Manohar Janardhan, has refused to comment but stated he would issue a clarification later.
