Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has criticised the West Bengal process, stating it is 'being conducted in a hurry' and warns of potential voter injustice and threats to democratic fairness. Sen highlighted concerns that Indian Muslims and residents of Santiniketan could face bias. Simultaneously, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India of participating in 'well-planned, organised vote-chori' in Gujarat, alleging the selective removal of pro-Congress and specific community votes.
