The West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee raised concerns over alleged irregularities and harassment in the voter list revision process. State Congress leaders submitted a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer, highlighting issues faced by citizens receiving notices for hearings. The party demanded an immediate investigation and corrective actions to address the reported problems.
State Congress President Shubhankar Sarkar called for a protest outside the CEO office in Kolkata on January 20 to emphasize their demands. The memorandum stated that despite citizens submitting correct documents, they are still receiving hearing notices with technical errors. This situation has led to confusion and unnecessary stress among the public, as the notices lack essential information.
The Congress leadership criticized the flawed hearing process, pointing out errors in the notices that are causing inconvenience to citizens and election workers alike. They emphasized the need for transparency and efficiency in the voter hearing process to prevent further distress. The party urged the Election Commission to intervene promptly, identify those responsible for the errors, and implement measures to rectify the situation.
