West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on May 10 alleged that BJP is using the hawala route to transfer money for distribution among the voters and law enforcing agencies are not taking any action in this regard. “This operation is being carried out by the BJP during the night when campaigning is over. We need to keep a watch on this.“Ms. Banerjee said that a BJP candidate was even caught carrying “crores of rupees”. The BJP, she alleged, was employing contractors to bring in people and were giving money to them for getting votes. Hitting out at Mr. Modi, Ms. Banerjee, who is among his severest critics, said he has been campaigning extensively in the State.
