Kolkata: The district-level electoral official clearing the selection of West Bengal government employees as booth-level officers (BLOs) despite not fulfilling the selection criteria mandated by the Election Commission of India (ECI) might now have to give explanations over their actions to the commission.

As per the information received by the Office of the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), nearly 4,500 contractual state government employees have been selected as BLOs for around 2,000 booths in certain districts in the state, violating the ECI-mandated selection criteria.

As per the ECI guidelines, there should be a pattern for appointment to BLO that is uniform for all Indian states.
