In the wake of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as the first Chief Minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has raised serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI). TMC's national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, accused the ECI of facilitating large-scale electoral irregularities, claiming that approximately 30 lakh (3 million) genuine voters were disenfranchised during the Assembly elections. He criticized the conduct of government agencies and the ECI as 'deeply partisan', questioning the fairness and transparency of the electoral process. Banerjee also highlighted incidents of post-poll violence against TMC workers, asserting that many faced intimidation and were forced to leave their homes due to safety concerns. He called for the release of CCTV footage from counting centers and insisted on a transparent counting of VVPAT slips to restore trust in democratic institutions. Despite the challenges, Banerjee reaffirmed TMC's commitment to act as a robust opposition in both West Bengal and Delhi under Mamata Banerjee's leadership.
