Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday raised concerns with the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding Governor CV Ananda Bose’s alleged “illegal interference” in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, 2024. The complaint accused Bose of attempting to visit polling areas during the “silent period” on polling days, specifically on April 18, 19, prompting the ruling party in the state to take the action. 

Notably, this is not the first time the Bengal-ruling party has filed a complaint against the Governor. Earlier on March 22, the party filed a complaint with ECI, accusing Bose of “illegally interfering” in the general elections and attempting to establish a “parallel office” similar to that of the ECI.
