The Trinamool Congress (TMC) wrote to the Election Commission over a complaint against West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Sukanta Majumdar..
The TMC alleged in the letter that on March 30, Sukanta Majumdar, at a public meeting organized at Gangarampur, "made threatening remarks to Mr Prasanta Mitra (who is the Chairman of Gangarampur Municipality and brother of Mr Biplab Mitra who is AITC's candidate from 6 Balurghat Parliamentary Constituency)." ..
"During his speech, he unequivocally stated that Mr. Prasanta Mitra will be taken into custody by the ED, for a period which is longer than his time served as the Chairman of the aforesaid Municipality," the TMC said in the letter shared by news agency ANI..
The TMC said its leader Mahua Moitra had previously lodged a complaint dated March 24, 2024, wherein she had highlighted "the mode and manner in which the Central Bureau of Investigation has been targeting her with consecutive raids which has unjustly benefitted BJP"...
The TMC added the "seeming inaction" of the Election Commission in this regard has "evidently emboldened the leaders/candidates of the BJP who are now shamelessly intimidating AITC's functionaries in broad daylight"..
