Trinamool alleges BSF being misused

The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India alleging that the Border Security Force was threatening people living in areas in the state bordering Bangladesh, asking them to vote for a particular political party. While the party did not name the Bharatiya Janata Party, it implied that it was referring to the national party, which has emerged its main rival in the state. The BJP, meanwhile, has alleged that at least 400,000500,000 Rohingyas, who illegally entered the country through the Indo-Bangla border, have been included in the voters’ list and urged the poll panel to order a special audit of the electoral roll. BSF has refuted the charges saying that the allegations were baseless and far from truth.
