In a recent statement, TMC leader Derek O’Brien criticized the BJP, accusing them of undermining democratic institutions like the Election Commission of India. He called for Supreme Court-monitored Lok Sabha polls, alleging BJP's attempts to manipulate the electoral process. The Election Commission's removal of top officials in multiple states, including West Bengal's police chief Rajeev Kumar, sparked a political clash between TMC and BJP. Tensions rise ahead of the seven-phase Lok Sabha polls starting April 19, particularly in West Bengal, where TMC won 22 seats in 2019, while BJP secured 18.
