The BJP has raised objections regarding the use of its official seal on a circular issued by the Chief Electoral Officer in Thiruvananthapuram. The party believes this incident is not just a procedural error but part of a larger political conspiracy involving state administration and Election Commission officials. The BJP alleges that an official with affiliations to certain organizations was purposely assigned election duties.
The party has expressed suspicions about the actions taken against the official responsible for the circular, claiming it is a diversion from the underlying issues. Additionally, the BJP has accused CPI(M) leaders of having questionable dealings with Election Commission officials. They have questioned the appointment of a Labour Department officer as a Returning Officer in Nemom, where a Labour Minister is a candidate.
The BJP has lodged a formal complaint with the Election Commission, urging the immediate transfer of the concerned official and a thorough investigation into the matter. They have also accused the ruling party of using administrative power to influence the election process, alleging that the Election Commission in the state is favoring the CPI(M) interests.
