Amid uproar over the Special Intensive Revision of West Bengal’s electoral rolls, BJP MLA Debjit Sarkar issued a stark challenge to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday. Bypassing virtual oversight, he demanded the CEC’s physical presence to confront the anarchy plaguing Mamata Banerjee’s domain.
‘Forget Delhi dispatches—tour the violence hotspots yourself,’ Sarkar urged in an IANS conversation. ‘Conditions are uncontrollable; lawlessness prevails, with zero adherence to constitutional principles.’
TMC faced brutal takedowns: from ED teams dispossessed of evidence mid-probe per CM orders, to provocative anti-Hindu rhetoric from party heavyweights. ‘Nothing left unseen there. CEC and Supreme Court reps must verify the mayhem.’
Abhishek Banerjee’s virtual strategy drew ridicule. ‘More online meets expose their fractures—TMC insiders rebel, dubbing peers thieves. In-person? Out of the question.’ Sarkar heralded public fury translating to TMC’s ouster and BJP’s victory in elections.
This confrontation spotlights Bengal’s precarious electoral landscape, where opposition narratives of manipulation gain traction. Sarkar’s on-site probe advocacy may pressure authorities toward corrective actions, safeguarding democratic sanctity.
