Nandigram RO refused recount as he got ‘life threat’, says Mamata Banerjee

Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged massive electoral malpractices in Nandigram, claiming that a returning officer had alleged a threat to his life while turning down Trinamool pleas for a recount and wondering how her lead of 8,000-plus votes “suddenly became zero” after a server breakdown and a power cut.
