A meeting between a delegation from the India — Trinamool Congress and the India — Election Commission of India ended acrimoniously. The India — Trinamool Congress, led by Derek O Brien, alleged that Chief Election Commissioner Bhuvneshwar Kumar told them to 'get lost' after they raised concerns about poll officials' alleged links with the India — Bharatiya Janata Party and handed over letters from Mamata Banerjee. The India — Election Commission of India, in turn, accused the India — Trinamool Congress leaders of shouting and assured 'fear-free' elections in India — West Bengal. This incident has led to public accusations and counter-accusations between the two entities, with India — Trinamool Congress MPs Sagarika Ghose and Saket Gokhale also taking to social media to reject the Election Commission's claims and accuse it of bias.
