Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humyaun Kabir on Monday complained about the lack of seating arrangements for counting agents of political parties at centres where counting of votes at West Bengal's Baharampur is underway.
Counting of votes for the high-stakes assembly elections in West Bengal began at 8 am on Monday, with the verdict set to decide whether the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC returns to power for a fourth consecutive term or the BJP scripts history by forming its first government in the state.
"There is a lack of security arrangements for counting agents at the centres. I wish the EC makes proper arrangements at the counting centres across the state," he told PTI videos in Murshidabad district.
