TMC Councillor Accused of Duplicate Voter Registration
A politician is being accused of having his name on the voter list twice, which could mean he's trying to vote more than once.
Another politician is making this accusation.
The politician says his family home is in one place, but he also owns a house in another.
He says he's a real voter, not a cheater, because of his family ties and property ownership.
Opposition leader Shuvendu Adhikari alleged TMC councillor Kabirul Alam's name appears twice in voter rolls.
Adhikari stated Alam is registered in Ward 19 and Ward 20, labeling him a "fake voter".
Alam stated his ancestral home is in Ward 20, but he also owns a home in Ward 19.
Alam's wife was councillor of Ward 19 from 2015 to 2022; he won the seat in 2022.
