Arora and Election Commissioners Sushil Chandra and Rajiv Kumar, BJP chief Dilip Ghosh demanded immediate deployment of central forces in West Bengal, on the other hand, the secretary general of the Trinamool Congress, Partha Chattopadhyay, alleged that the BSF is intimidating people at border areas to vote for the BJP.

The Left Front leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction over the voter list whereas Congress leaders have requested the commission to deploy Central forces in all the booths to ensure free and fair election in West Bengal.

“The deployment of central forces can give the common people of the state confidence to go out and vote. The state police and civic volunteers are pets of the ruling Trinamool Congress,” mentioned West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh.
