West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on June 26 accused the BSF of scaring voters in the bordering areas of the State at the behest of the saffron camp and asked the police administration to keep a close watch on their activities.
"I have information that in the run up to the panchayat election, some BSF officials are visiting the border areas, threatening voters and forcing them not to vote. I will ask people not to be scared of their tactics and fearlessly participate in the elections," she told an election rally in the bordering district.
