BJP’s Hooghly Lok Sabha Candidate Locket Chatterjee Reports Threats at Multiple Poll Sites in West Bengal

Hooghly constituency BJP candidate Locket Chatterjee told reporters that she observed threatening behaviour at roughly two to three polling stations during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal. She said the incidents involved intimidation of voters and election officials, creating an atmosphere of fear at the affected sites.

The candidate did not disclose the exact locations but indicated that the threats were limited to a handful of places rather than a widespread problem. She urged the Election Commission and security agencies to intervene swiftly to ensure a free and fair voting process.

Election officials have been asked to increase vigilance and deploy additional personnel at the reported spots. The BJP has called for a thorough investigation into the allegations, emphasizing the need to protect democratic participation across the state.

No arrests or concrete evidence have been reported so far, and the Election Commission has yet to release an official statement on the matter. The polling continues as scheduled, with authorities monitoring the situation closely.
