A delegation of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders recently visited the Election Commission in New Delhi to voice serious allegations against West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar. According to the TMC, Majumdar allegedly insulted the State Emblem and police, triggering a wave of political controversy. The TMC’s complaint also extended to the deployment of central forces during the state bypolls. The party raised concerns about the fairness of the election process, suggesting that the presence of central forces might tilt the scales in favor of one party.
In their petition to the Election Commission, TMC leaders sought an inquiry into Majumdar’s alleged actions and called for a review of the security arrangements during the upcoming bypolls. The allegations have ignited political debates across the state, with both parties taking strong positions on the issue.
The Election Commission is now expected to review the situation and take appropriate actions to maintain peace and impartiality during the election process. The central forces’ role in state elections has always been a point of contention, with various parties questioning their influence on local affairs.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions in West Bengal’s political environment, where allegations and counter-allegations often emerge, especially in the context of elections.
