Akhilesh Yadav Calls for Transparency in Poll Process

Akhilesh Yadav, president of the Samajwadi Party, voiced his concerns over the fairness of the election process in West Bengal, demanding that the Supreme Court makes the vote-counting footage public. His comments came soon after the BJP's formidable victory in the state.

Addressing a press conference, Yadav questioned why the counting process was not live-streamed, drawing parallels with live court proceedings. Emphasizing transparency, he urged for public scrutiny over the West Bengal polls.

Yadav also highlighted possible electoral discrepancies in Uttar Pradesh, suggesting the use of multi-layered election tactics as seen in West Bengal. Additionally, he confirmed plans to visit West Bengal in support of Mamata Banerjee.
