Central forces will be deployed: Sunil Arora

After the three-day visit to West Bengal, Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora on Friday assured deployment of central forces in poll-bound West Bengal.

“We had an in-depth interaction with political parties. Most had concerns about the law and order situation. I don’t believe that any political party is using man power or muscle power to influence the voter but I will definitely deploy central forces as much as possible,” mentioned Arora.

Rubbishing BJP’s claim Rohingya are in large numbers in the voter list as the TMC had given them citizenship, Arora said that there is no such evidence in the list.

The chief election commission also nullified the claim of the ruling Trinamool Congress that BSF is intimidating people to vote for the BJP. “BSF is not involved in influencing anyone. BSF is one of the finest forces. It is unfortunate that TMC had made such averments about the BSF. I have asked for concrete instances. After consulting with the Chief Secretary, DGP and Home Secretary of West Bengal ECI had decided that civic volunteers won’t be allowed to execute any poll related activities in West Bengal,” said Arora.
