Trinamool Congress Walks Out of Rajya Sabha Over Election Commission's Bureaucratic Reshuffle

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) staged a day-long walkout from the Rajya Sabha to protest the Election Commission's decision to remove West Bengal's Chief Secretary Nandini Chakravorty and Home Secretary Jagdish Prasad Meena shortly after announcing the state's assembly poll schedule. TMC members condemned the midnight reshuffle as unjustified. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju defended the Election Commission's authority, emphasizing respect for constitutional bodies and criticizing opposition parties for challenging such decisions in Parliament.
