There is no mechanism or app under the Indian electoral system that allows any political party to track individual votes through [Aadhaar Redacted] or Voter ID linking. Political analysts believe such statements are made solely to instill fear in the minds of voters. While the TMC candidate from Bidhannagar, Sujit Bose, is yet to comment on the matter, the incident has raised serious concerns regarding voter intimidation in a high-profile constituency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A massive controversy has erupted in the Bidhannagar assembly constituency after a video of local TMC leader Nirmal Dutta went viral.
