In a concerning turn of events, an accusation of voter impersonation has emerged from the polling booth situated at Ganesh Nagar Children's School in Basistha, Guwahati. The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the integrity of the ongoing electoral process.
According to reports, a woman named Anima Chaudhary arrived at the polling booth to cast her vote, only to discover that her vote had already been recorded in her absence. Shocked by this revelation, Anima Chaudhary promptly raised an alarm, alleging that her voting rights had been infringed upon by an unidentified individual who had cast a ballot under her name.
Anima Chaudhary's allegations point towards the negligence of the polling presiding officer, whose oversight allegedly facilitated the unauthorized casting of a vote. It has been alleged that the decision to allow the imposter to vote was made based on a visual resemblance between the imposter and the legitimate voter, further compounding the gravity of the situation.
Expressing her dismay and frustration, Anima Chaudhary emphasized the importance of safeguarding the electoral process against such malpractices. "I came to exercise my democratic right to vote, only to find that it had already been done in my absence. This is unacceptable," she declared, calling for swift action to address the issue and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The incident has sparked calls for a thorough investigation into the matter and strict measures to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. As the Bihu elections progress, it is imperative that steps are taken to uphold the principles of transparency and fairness, thereby preserving the essence of democracy.
