TMC Leader's Fiery Rebuke of Election Commission

TMC's Abhishek Banerjee accused the Election Commission of compromising on neutrality and undermining West Bengal voters' rights. At a press conference, he criticized the EC for allegedly acting under BJP influence and stressed the state's accountability to its voters, not the central government.

TMC Lok Sabha leader Abhishek Banerjee launched a fierce verbal assault on the Election Commission, alleging it has faltered in its constitutional neutrality and is undermining the voting rights of West Bengal's citizens.

Speaking ahead of a meeting at Rahul Gandhi's residence, Banerjee accused the EC of subverting democracy in Bengal, suggesting it was being manipulated by the BJP to disenfranchise legitimate voters. He urged the commission to adhere to its constitutional obligations.

Banerjee highlighted a baffling incident where a residential certificate was supposedly issued to 'Donald Trump', demanding scrutiny of the EC’s operations. He underscored the state government's allegiance to Bengal's residents, not external political forces.
