Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of running a “cash-for-votes” bid in Bhowanipore, claiming that at least “few hundred crore” had been transported from Odisha in a black Scorpio and was being distributed among residents in slum areas.

The move comes as part of a “monitoring exercise” conducted in the run-up to the elections.

The department flagged a spike detected through analytics tools, including the ePoS module and district-level monitoring reports.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday released the Bharatiya Janata Party’s election manifesto for West Bengal, placing a strong emphasis on the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) within six months if the party forms the government.

The EC has defended the exercise as a necessary correction to weed out duplicate, deceased, and otherwise ineligible entries, asserting that the process was conducted in a “phased and transparent manner” with due checks at every stage. Officials maintain that the objective was to ensure a “clean and error-free electoral roll,” a cornerstone for free and fair elections.
