Fake voter registration attempts in WB ahead of 2026 polls: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has alleged that a “ghost political party” is trying to register at least 20,000 – 30,000 fake voters in every assembly seat across the state ahead of the 2026 assembly polls.

Not name any particular political party, Banerjee initially said, “Babus have come to Bengal and siting here to register 20,000 – 30,000 fake voters in every assembly seat. The Election Commission of India will conduct the polls by sending central forces. Voters, who do not belong to Bengal, will come and cast their votes. We will foil your plans.”

She alleged that voters from Bihar were being registered in West Bengal through online registration.
