Name not on list, Mamata Banerjee’s brother fails to cast vote

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee’s youngest brother Swapan Banerjee, also known as ’Babun’, on Monday could not cast his vote after his name was not found in the voters’ list, an election official said.

Babun, who is a voter of Howrah town, went to cast his vote at a polling booth when it was discovered that his name was not on the list.”The Election Commission of India is looking into the whole matter.

Only it can explain why this happened,” Trinamool Congress spokesperson Shantanu Sen said.When contacted by PTI, Babun said he was disappointed.”I went to cast my vote today and found that my name was deleted.

I have been voting for so many years. I am disappointed that I could not vote this year. As a citizen of a democratic country, I have the right to vote,” he said. Babun had expressed his displeasure after TMC renominated sitting MP Prasun Banerjee for the Howrah Lok Sabha seat in March.
