Kakoli’s grievanceTrinamool Congress’s Barasat MP Kakali Ghosh Dastidar alleged that despite having proper links with the 2002 voters’ list, her two sons, sister and mother had been summoned for hearings. A source in the Bengal chief electoral officer (CEO)’s office said that the MP’s relatives had not linked themselves with the 2002 electoral roll. Family members said Sita had panicked after receiving a summons and was anxious about the possibility of her name being deleted from the voter list. Among the 491 voters summoned was local gram panchayat memberTuhin Mondal. Born in 1997, Manu’s name did not figure in the 2002 voter list, nor did her mother’s, though her father, Prabir Das, was listed in the benchmark roll of that year.
