A delegation of West Bengal BJP leaders led by Suvendu Adhikari wrote to the State Election Commission (SEC) seeking use of VVPATs (Voter Verified Paper audit Trail) and deployment of central forces (CAPF) for the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation polls. SEC stance #CAPF deployment #KMC polls needs revisiting, it being prime stake holder for fair polls. Determined SEC opposition to CAPF deployment does not augur well for fair polls.
