TMC Delegation to Meet Poll officials in Delhi
A delegation of parliamentarians from Trinamool Congress will meet with Election Commission officials in Delhi on Wednesday afternoon, the party said.
The delegation will include MPs Derek O’Brien, Kalyan Banerjee, Pratima Mondal, and Santanu Sen. They are scheduled to arrive at the Election Commission of India office at 3.30 pm.
The meeting will take place days after the electoral body banned Supreme TMC and West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from campaigning for 24 hours. On Tuesday he had sat in a three-and-a-half-hour protest against the voting panel’s decision.
On Monday, shortly after the Election Commission banned Mamata Banerjee from campaigning for 24 hours, her party alleged that the electoral panel was behaving like a “wing of the BJP” and its decision smacked of authoritarianism.
