News Desk: Amid the seventh phase of West Bengal polls, BJP leader and candidate from Asansol Dakshin, Agnimitra Paul has alleged that a TMC polling agent was donning a cap with state CM Mamata Banerjee’s picture. Agnimitra Paul stated that the polling agent was present at Baktarnagar High School. Paul further added that the presiding officer claimed that ‘He was unwell’ and failed to notice it.
The BJP leader hit out at Mamata Banerjee and cited Election Commission (EC) rules that polling agents cannot wear anything associated with the party, including the party symbol or a political leader’s picture. The saffron party’s candidate has also alleged that the incident was a part of Banerjee’s tricks as ‘people will not vote for her’. Meanwhile, she also remarked that the polling agent claimed that he was not aware.
