Tensions escalated late last night at the strong room of the Ghatal Lok Sabha constituency as BJP candidate Hiranmoy Chatterjee raised concerns over the presence of casual staff. The situation unfolded when Chatterjee confronted the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) regarding the deployment of temporary or contractual workers in the vote-counting area.
The dispute began as Chatterjee questioned the legitimacy and potential implications of employing casual staff for such a critical task. "Why are casual staff present in the strong room?" Chatterjee demanded, voicing his apprehensions about the security and integrity of the vote-counting process.
This incident comes in the wake of a recent ruling by Justice Amrita Sinha, who declared that temporary or contractual workers should not be assigned to vote counting duties. This legal precedent has heightened scrutiny of the electoral procedures in Ghatal, with Chatterjee's confrontation adding to the existing tension.
