A video circulating on social media shows a Trinamool Congress block president causing a disturbance during a hearing on claims and objections to the draft voters’ list in West Bengal. The incident took place in Pandua, Hooghly district. Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, shared the video on social media platforms, accusing the ruling party of trying to disrupt the Special Intensive Revision exercise.
The video depicts Trinamool Congress’s Pandua block president, Sanjog Ghosh, allegedly threatening the electoral officer at the hearing center. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified by sources. Adhikari claimed that the ruling party was intentionally trying to sabotage the ongoing Special Intensive Revision process in the state.
Allegations were made that the Pandua block president not only threatened the electoral officer but also encouraged local residents to disrupt the hearing process. Adhikari stated that the ruling party’s efforts to disrupt the exercise were in vain, emphasizing the importance of a genuine voters’ list. He asserted that the upcoming Assembly elections in West Bengal would proceed with a transparent and accurate voters’ list, insinuating that the Trinamool Congress would not regain power.
Reports of disruptions by Trinamool Congress activists at various hearing centers in West Bengal have emerged since the commencement of the claims and objections hearings on the draft voters’ list. Instances of disturbances, allegedly led by local ruling party legislators, have been reported.
