West Bengal BJP leader Agnimitra Paul described recent egg-throwing incidents targeting TMC leaders as 'deemocracy,' reflecting public anger over alleged corruption and misgovernance. The incidents, including one outside Mamata Banerjee's residence, highlight growing resentment against the ruling party.
TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh was hit by an egg thrown by a youth outside Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence in Kolkata. The accused alleged Ghosh committed 'atrocities,' while Ghosh called it 'planned hooliganism' and questioned security.
Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh has demanded the suspension of IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma, nicknamed 'Singham', over alleged massive rigging in West Bengal's Falta Assembly constituency. The Election Commission has ordered a complete repoll in all 285 polling stations on May 21, citing severe electoral offences and subversion of democratic process during the April 29 polling. The EC's detailed order revealed that initial scrutiny was deeply flawed, relying primarily on paperwork while failing to thoroughly examine complaints and review video footage. The BJP had alleged that party symbols on EVMs were taped over at several booths.
Kolkata Police has registered an FIR against Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh and Bangla Pokkho General Secretary Garga Chatterjee for allegedly creating and circulating a fake BJP document on social media to mislead voters. The complaint was filed by social service professional Sashi Agnihotri, accusing them of spreading defamatory content to damage the BJP's reputation ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections. The case has been registered under IT Act sections 66, 66C, 66D and provisions of BNS, 2023.
