The Election Commission of India today assured that the Elections in West Bengal would surely be free of any fear, violence, intimidation, inducement and without any Booth Jamming and Source Jamming. The Commission said this in a social media post after meeting a Trinamool Congress (TMC) delegation.
Earlier, the TMC delegation which includes senior leaders Derek O’Brien, Sagarika Ghose, Saket Gokhale and Menaka Guruswamy has submitted a memorandum to the commission and raised their concerns regarding the neutrality, fairness and transparency of the electoral process in West Bengal.
It said that any erosion in the neutrality of those conducting elections directly impacts the credibility of the outcome and faith of citizens in democratic institutions. TMC urged the Election Commission to take cognizance of these concerns for preserving trust through prompt, transparent and unbiased action.
