LoP Suvendu urges ECI to initiate action against Mamata for 'brazen attack' on CEO Bengal

Kolkata, Oct 9 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari today urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to initiate action against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her "brazen attack" on state Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Agarwal during a media conference at Nabanna.
"Not from any political rally, but from a press conference held today at the State Secretariat, in the presence of the Chief Secretary, she hurled baseless allegations against the CEO, accusing him of corruption and issuing covert threats to intimidate him."
Her words, “I hope he doesn’t overreact or play aggressively,” and references to “various allegations” are nothing short of an attempt to blackmail and undermine an Officer tasked with upholding the sanctity of our Democratic process," Adhikari posted this on his X handle.
