Suvendu Adhikari (Leader of Opposition in West Bengal) has raised serious allegations regarding the disclosure of counting duty details by election officials ahead of the vote counting scheduled for May 4. In a post on X, he stated that officers are reportedly sharing their specific duty information, including locations and designations, with departmental organizations, which he termed a grave violation of election protocols. Adhikari emphasized that such breaches could lead to undue political influence and intimidation, undermining the impartiality of the counting process. He urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal to take immediate action against these practices and investigate organizations allegedly collecting sensitive deployment data. Supporting these claims, BJP MP Saumitra Khan echoed concerns about potential fraud involving election officials linked to political parties, urging the ECI to act swiftly to protect the integrity of democracy.
