Trinamool Congress allegations of West Bengal electoral malp
Overview
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders have raised allegations regarding large-scale electoral irregularities in West Bengal. Abhishek Banerjee claimed that 30 lakh voter names were deleted under the pretext of resolving logical discrepancies, an action he argued undermines the legitimacy of the current mandate. He also criticized the timing of administrative appointments and accused central agencies, including the ED and CBI, of political bias during investigations into a fatal stampede in Chorbagan.
Following these claims, Mamata Banerjee expanded the accusations, alleging that the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls resulted in the removal of more than one crore voters. She accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of hijacking the system to vanish votes during the counting process. In response to these alleged irregularities, the INDIA bloc organized the ‘Dilli Chalo’ protest to demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
