AGARTALA, Nov 2 (TIWN): Tripura BJP has challenged CPI-M's fake voter list, claiming 'Not a single fake-voter will be allowed to cast vote in this Assembly Election'. Assam Minister Himanta Bisawa Sarma said on Thursday in BJP Press meet, "We have understood if per booth 10 fake voters are created by CPI-M then 500 votes as per constituencies is very easy to create. In the last Assembly Election also 7 to 10 seats were won by CPI-M at the gap of mere 500 booths. This is intolerable". "BJP will fight back fake voters in the Assembly Election and for this we have launched Pristha-Promote campaigning. 47,000 cards will be distributed in the verifying procedure", said Sarma. "There are 3000 polling booths in Tripura, but there are many pages in those booths, as per the count there will be 47000 pages and we have to work accordingly per Pages / Pristha, not by booths".

However, this is not the first time that State BJP has alleged that CPI-M created Fake Voter List per booths , but earlier also it was said that fake-voters have been key of CPI-M's massive winning since 25 years. In past elections, Tripura has recorded close to 90% voters percentage that is highest in the whole country.

Earlier, Sunil Deodhar claimed at least 1 lakhs of voters who are living outside the state, CPI-M Govt uses their names to cast fake votes in CPI-M vote banks.

In a latest development it has been known that more than 20 thousand voters names can be enrolled which are absolutely fakes.

CPI-M led Left Front won 50 seats in 2013 but it had to face tough fight from the opposition in 12 seats .In 2013 assembly poll CPI-M led Left Front secured around 52% of the total votes casted while the opposition Congress got around 48% votes . It means by margin of only 4% vote share difference CPI-M won with landslides victory of 50 seats in its tally.
