BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya on Monday criticised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her recent comments, accusing her of threatening the Election Commission. Malviya questioned Banerjee’s remarks, saying, “You work for the state government, not the EC.”
Malviya’s comments underscore the BJP’s ongoing criticism of Mamata Banerjee’s governance and her party’s stance on electoral processes.
The party alleged that Banerjee’s remarks are aimed at shielding her party’s alleged reliance on fake voters, including Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants. “Mamata Banerjee knows that without bogus votes, TMC will collapse. This isn’t just political arrogance — it’s a direct assault on India’s Constitution and democracy!” Malviya posted on X.
This comes after the West Bengal CM emphasised that the Election Commission’s role is crucial after the election dates are announced, but before and after that, it’s the state government’s responsibility. After the election also it is the state government. Hence, remember you all work for the state government.
She accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of beginning the process of training the booth-level officers (BLOs) in the state without giving prior intimation to the state government. She also accused a section of the District Magistrates of allotting duties for such BLO training without informing their higher authorities.
“I did not even know that they took 1000 people from West Bengal for training in Delhi. The District Magistrate should have at least informed us. They did not inform me, fine, but they could inform the Chief Secretary (CS). The Booth Level Officers who have the waiting list, I’m requesting them to ensure that nobody’s name goes off the list. Always remember that Election Commission’s role is crucial after the election dates are announced, but before and after that, it’s the state government’s responsibility,” she said.
