Trinamool Congress (TMC) General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee launched the party's election campaign by criticizing the BJP and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). Banerjee raised concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, questioning the deletion of Bangladeshi names and asserting the strength of Bengal's people. He suggested Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee might protest in Delhi against the Election Commission's actions, emphasizing TMC's elected mandate over nominated officials.
