MP News: Booth Level Officers Not Reached 50% Places In State, Says Congress

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A delegation of Congress party led by former minister Sajjan Singh Verma met chief electoral officer Sanjeev Kumar Jha and alleged that booth-level officers (BLOs) have not reached 50% places in the state and even if they reached other places, they were not carrying enumeration forms.

Congress alleged that outsourced and temporary workers have been deployed in Special Intensive Review (SIR) of electoral rolls, which is adversely affecting the SIR work.

Apart from this, the list of Congress block-level agent has been not uploaded on the election commission website. Due to this reason, there is a confusion among Congress Booth Level Agents (BLAs).

“The list of Congress BLAs has been not been uploaded on Election Commission website,” Sajjan Singh Verma told media persons.

“Booth-level officers are untrained and they are asking people to furnish the record of last SIR or about their previous address. I see a bigger scam in the name of SIR,”he added.
