BJP trying to influence Election Commission, alleges Mamata Banerjee on Gyanesh Kumar's appointment as CEC

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying in Delhi and Maharashtra, the saffron party had won elections by enrolling fake voters from Haryana and Gujarat. While addressing a Trinamool Party (TMC) workers' meeting at Netaji Indoor Stadium, she asserted unless the Election Commission of India becomes impartial, there cannot be free and fair elections. The chief minister, on the appointment of Gyanesh Kumar as CEC, alleged that the BJP is trying to influence the Election Commission of India. 

"We will identify fake electors, who have been enrolled with the help of BJP and will not allow outsiders to capture Bengal," she asserted.
