Kapil Sibal Advocates for State Representation in West Bengal Vote Counting

Former Law Minister Kapil Sibal has raised concerns over the counting process of the West Bengal Assembly polls, stressing the importance of state government representation at each table to maintain fairness.

This follows the Supreme Court's decision affirming the Election Commission's April 13 circular, which calls for a mix of Central and state personnel during vote counting.

Sibal, representing the Trinamool Congress, argues that balanced representation is crucial to avoid the perception of bias and ensure a level playing field in the electoral process.
