TMC Launches Drive to Identify 'Phantom Voters' – Mayor Visits Every Door in CM’s Constituency

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has launched an extensive door-to-door verification campaign in the West Bengal Chief Minister’s constituency, aiming to identify and eliminate 'phantom voters' (fake or duplicate voters) from the electoral roll. The initiative is being personally led by the Mayor, who has taken to the streets to ensure accurate voter lists ahead of the upcoming elections.

TMC’s Mission: Ensuring a Clean Electoral Roll

Concerns over bogus voters, fake identities, and electoral fraud have been rising, prompting TMC to initiate this verification drive. The party has emphasized its commitment to free and fair elections by eliminating fraudulent voter entries that could potentially influence poll outcomes.

Mayor Leads the Charge

In a rare move, the Mayor, accompanied by local party workers and electoral representatives, is visiting every household in the CM’s constituency. The objective is to cross-check voter lists with actual residents, identify discrepancies, and report any irregularities to the Election Commission.

Political Reactions and Opposition’s Response

The opposition parties, including the BJP and CPI(M), have raised concerns, questioning whether the TMC’s voter verification drive is politically motivated. They have urged the Election Commission to conduct an independent review to ensure transparency in the process.

Meanwhile, TMC leaders have asserted that the drive is purely aimed at preventing electoral malpractice and strengthening democratic values by ensuring only genuine voters participate in elections.

What’s Next?

As the electoral battle intensifies, TMC’s initiative is expected to bring significant changes to voter lists in the CM’s constituency. With thorough scrutiny and field verification, the party aims to restore public confidence in the electoral process before the crucial elections.
