Scared of poll defeat: BJP’s Shankar Ghosh slams TMC for plea challenging deployment for vote counting in Bengal

BJP candidate from Siliguri Assembly constituency Shankar Ghosh accused the Trinamool Congress of levelling false allegations against the Election Commission amid the plea challenging the deployment of only Central government and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) employees as supervisors for vote counting in the West Bengal Assembly elections.

Speaking to ANI on Saturday (April 2), Shankar Ghosh attributed the TMC’s allegations against the ECI to the party’s ‘fear of election defeat’.

The BJP leader said, “I think the CM is trying to make some kind of narrative. The allegations from TMC show that they are scared of the election defeat. So, they are only trying to mislead the people. I think this kind of statement from the state’s ruling party is quite natural, as everybody knows that TMC is going to be removed from power by the people. I think this kind of false allegation will not be able to save their faces, and the Election Commission is doing its best to protect everything.”
