TMC Plans to Release Audio of Meetings with Chief Election Commissioner Amid SIR Dispute
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) plans to release audio recordings next week of its meetings with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar amid disputes over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise and party control claims. The recordings, covering three meetings, aim to show interactions and responses from the Election Commission (EC), which the TMC accuses of partiality. This follows reports of objections by other Election Commissioners regarding electoral roll management. The TMC had earlier considered but postponed releasing these recordings.
