What Happened

TMC leaders accused India's Election Commission of functioning on BJP's behalf during West Bengal elections. Senior TMC members cited Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal visiting Nandigram with a BJP leader, voter deletions, and a returning officer's alleged BJP connections. TMC claimed these incidents undermine electoral neutrality and public confidence. The party filed multiple complaints with the Election Commission without resolution. Neither the EC nor BJP responded to allegations.
