KOLKATA: An instance of appointing a Trinamool Congress office-bearer as a booth-level officer (BLO) has now surfaced in the Narayangarh Assembly Constituency in West Midnapore district of West Bengal, the second such instance within the last seven days.
Last week, the attention of the Election Commission of India (ECI) was drawn to the selection of an area president of Trinamool Congress as the BLO for a particular booth under Diamond Harbour constituency in South 24 Parganas district.
The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Manoj Kumar Agarwal, has already asked the South 24 Parganas District Magistrate, who is also the District Election Officer, to investigate the matter in the case of Diamond Harbour Assembly constituency and send a report on this count to the CEO’s office in Kolkata at the earliest.
