At least two Trinamool candidates summoned by central investigating agencies ahead of polls
Central agencies targeting political opponents raises concerns about abuse of power.
TMC candidates contesting the West Bengal Assembly elections have been summoned by Enforcement Directorate and National Investigating Agency officials in recent days. The party accuses the Bharatiya Janta Party of using these agencies to harass their candidates, claiming it's a tactic to disrupt their campaign efforts ahead of the election. TMC leaders argue that this is a "panic reaction" by the BJP and that the summons are aimed at keeping them occupied rather than allowing them time to campaign. Derek O’Brien, a Rajya Sabha MP, believes the BJP is resorting to these tactics to avoid a humiliating defeat in the upcoming elections.
