On Wednesday, West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party MLA and leader of the opposition Suvendu Adhikari accused All India Trinamool Congress (AITC or TMC) of violating the model code of conduct concerning the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
He accused the party of taking down the posters featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi while Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s images are displayed all over the state.
The BJP leader asserted, ‘Murders and rapes are happening daily. EC (Election Commission) should immediately send police observer and general observer here and they must send some police officials. They act as a functionary and a part and parcel of the Trinamool Congress. We demanded that the governor should visit’.
He added, ‘PM Modi’s pictures have been removed from across the state, but there are 10,000 places with Mamata Banerjee’s picture. Images of TMC MPs, ministers and candidates have been posted at government facilities from the airport to the flyover. They are breaking the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) every single day, at all hours. The Election Commission should not treat Bengal differently from other states.”
