He expressed concerns over “ghost voters” still lurking in the lists.

Call for Peaceful Elections “The people of Bengal deserve a violence-free election,” said Shamik. He emphasized that merely deploying central forces isn’t enough; the focus must remain on cleaning up the voter database. The BJP leader alleged that the ruling TMC is relying on electoral discrepancies to manipulate the results.
