In a shocking violation of the Election Commission’s guidelines, the SDO of Bidhannagar has reportedly written in a WhatsApp group advising people whose votes have been deleted to immediately fill Form 6, claiming that it is easier than filing an appeal.
This is deeply problematic.
By encouraging Form 6 instead of the prescribed appeal process, the officer is effectively bypassing due procedure and concealing the fact that these individuals were previously registered voters whose names were struck off for failing to produce required documents or establish bonafide eligibility.
Such actions amount to manipulating the electoral process.
The Election Commission of India (@ECISVEEP) and the CEO West Bengal (@CEOWestBengal) must take immediate note and act against this errant SDO, who appears to be behaving more like a political operative than a neutral administrator.
It is worth noting that parts of Bidhannagar have a significant illegal infiltrator population, making strict adherence to electoral verification processes even more critical.
