BJP's election control unsettles officials

Indian security forces are actively assuring voters in poll-bound states to cast their ballots without fear, emphasizing their presence for protection. Meanwhile, Jayanta Ghosal, a former advisor to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has stated that the ruling BJP is exerting unprecedented control over the election process, from committees to security. Ghosal claims this tight grip has unsettled bureaucrats who previously felt they could delay implementing orders until after the polls.
