thebalanced.newsWest Bengal BJP Government Downgrades Abhishek Banerjee's Security Cover Amid Administrative Changes
Following the BJP's victory in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, a security review downgraded Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee's Z-plus security cover to a standard level for Members of Parliament. This change coincided with the new BJP-led government's administrative reshuffle, which ended the tenure of nominated officials and discontinued extended service of certain employees. BJP representatives described these moves as efforts to restructure state bodies previously managed by the TMC.
