Booth Level Agents selected by political parties actively participate. Specific claims or objections must be made to West Bengal's 80,633 BLOs, 3,049 AEROs, and 294 EROs." The electoral authority's statement followed Ms. Banerjee's appointment of a committee to investigate voter list anomalies in West Bengal. Every step of voter list creation involves political parties. Political parties' objections to any measure are heard immediately. Election commission sources stated the electoral roll officer investigates all name changes appeals. The Congress questioned adding 48 lakh Maharashtra voters after the elections. Only one complaint reached the CEO." Ms Banerjee accused the BJP of manipulating voter rolls, citing Maharashtra and Delhi poll malpractices. She said the BJP was trying to do the same in West Bengal as in other states. "Sitting in the Election Commissioner's office, they have created a fake voter's list online, and in every district of West Bengal, fake voters have been added," Banerjee claimed. "They won Delhi and Maharashtra elections with this trick. These realities eluded the Maharashtra opposition. The majority of bogus voters come from Haryana and Gujarat. BJP is altering voters list with EC's approval; Bengali culture led to independence." Ms. Banerjee warned West Bengalis to check their voter list names since the National Register of Citizens and Citizenship Amendment Act could delete eligible voters. "NRC and CAA can remove names any day. It has two goals. You may circumvent TMC and remove names from the list. The EC approves this. Monitor data operators. TMC is grassroots. We must hit the ball harder in the 2026 Assembly elections, starting with the voter list. This must be done at the booth. She told the district president to handle things.Ms. Banerjee created a media cell, panchayat councillors, and core committee to monitor electoral rolls to combat voter list tampering. Trinamool Congress leaders went door-to-door to check election rolls in response to Ms. Banerjee's concerns. The initiative began today to find voter list irregularities.Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim personally verified in South Kolkata. "The BJP is sending in phony voters from other states to rig the election. Our party workers and I are going door-to-door to verify the voter list "Mr. Hakim stated.Local TMC leaders participated in verification efforts in Mamata Banerjee's assembly constituency, Bhabanipur. TMC leaders stated that many foreigners had registered as West Bengal voters under the same Electoral Photo Identity Card number. Ms. Banerjee called these fake entries "ghost voters."
