The TMC leader’s remarks come against the backdrop of growing Opposition criticism of the Election Commission over the SIR exercise and allegations concerning the functioning of the poll panel.
Opposition Goes Full Throttle After CEC
Opposition parties on Wednesday demanded scrapping of the SIR exercise and mounted a fierce attack on CEC Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that he was running the poll panel as a “one-man autocracy” and demanding his impeachment and arrest, after objections raised by election commissioners on the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists came into the open.
The ruling BJP, however, said that election commissioners sharing differing views in official deliberations shows the Election Commission (EC) is functioning in a democratic manner and demolishes the opposition parties’ allegation that it is “dictatorial”.
