West Bengal’s political temperature has risen after BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari raised concerns over the deployment of contractual and casual workers for vote counting duties. Calling it a threat to electoral integrity, Adhikari questioned the handling of EVMs and ballots by non-permanent staff and urged the Election Commission to intervene. His remarks come amid allegations of EVM tampering in Falta, where BJP claimed its symbol was covered at some booths. Meanwhile, repolling is underway in 15 polling stations in South 24 Parganas following reported irregularities, further intensifying the debate over transparency in the electoral process.
