Mamata accuses CEC of threatening Bengal officials, calls him ‘superman’
Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, accused Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner, of threatening officials during a meeting in Kolkata. Banerjee claimed that Kumar's remarks about potential action against officials after the May elections were inappropriate and demanded he reconsider his behavior. She also criticized the BJP for allegedly distributing leaflets near the protest site and called for a social boycott of the party. The protests, which began on March 6th, have seen sharp attacks from both sides, with Mahua Moitra, a Trinamool Congress MP, calling those who oppose her party "not true Bengalis" and Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary, urging people to boycott the BJP.
