Political Tensions Erupt Outside Bengal CEO Office
A political confrontation unfolded in Kolkata on 25 November 2025, as workers from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) arrived at the protest site of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) located near the office of the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer. The situation escalated rapidly when the protesting government officials raised strong counter-allegations against the visiting political delegation.
A Volatile Exchange of Allegations
The scene turned volatile when the assembled BLOs began shouting counter-slogans. They directly accused the BJP of acting in collusion with the Election Commission. The specific allegation voiced by the protesters was that this alleged collusion was aimed at the deletion of names of genuine voters from the electoral rolls in West Bengal. This direct accusation marked a significant intensification of the ongoing dispute over the state's voter list.
Standoff Concludes After Officials Depart
According to reports, the BJP workers remained at the location for a period of time. However, the standoff eventually de-escalated, and the party members departed from the protest site after the government officers had exited the area. The incident highlights the increasingly charged atmosphere surrounding the electoral process in West Bengal, where accusations of voter list manipulation have become a central point of political contention.
