BJP has demanded repolling in nine Lok Sabha constituencies of West Bengal alleging large-scale rigging during polling on 30th of last month. A party delegation led by BJP leader Ananth Kumar today met Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath in New Delhi and lodged a complaint. Talking to reporters, Kumar accused the ruling TMC of rigging and booth capturing in the polls. He said, the BJP has also urged the poll body to deploy para military forces and install CCTV cameras at all booths during next phases of polling on 7th and 12th of this month in the state.
The party also lodged a complaint against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi over his alleged provocative remarks that if Narendra Modi becomes Prime Minister then a large number of people will be killed. Kumar said Gandhi's statement is in violation of Model Code of Conduct and poll body should take action against him.
On Friday, in an election rally at Solan in Himachal Pradesh, Congress leader had said if Modi becomes Prime Minister, 22 thousand people would be killed.
