TMC Walks Out of Rajya Sabha Over Election Commission's Transfer of Bengal Officers

Trinamool Congress (TMC) members walked out of the Rajya Sabha to protest the Election Commission's decision to transfer West Bengal's Chief Secretary Nandini Chakraborty and Home Secretary Jagdish Prasad Meena shortly after announcing the state's Assembly poll dates. TMC criticized the timing and manner of the reshuffle, calling it a midnight move. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju defended the Election Commission's authority, emphasizing respect for constitutional bodies and dismissing the protest as a misuse of parliamentary time.
