The Election Commission removed several top West Bengal bureaucrats, including the Chief Secretary and DGP, just hours after announcing the state’s poll schedule. The move triggered strong protests from the Trinamool Congress, which accused the BJP of misusing government machinery ahead of elections.
Today, On 9th March, The Supreme Court agreed to consider a plea challenging the deletion of electors from the electoral rolls during West Bengal’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR). A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi took note of submissions by senior advocate Maneka Guruswamy.
