Trinamool Congress Plans Kolkata Rally Demanding CEC Resignation and Protesting Centre
The Trinamool Congress faction led by former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced a protest march in Kolkata demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The rally, described as a 'massive protest march,' also targets the Central government over alleged suppression of democracy and opposition oppression. Mamata Banerjee's participation is tentative, pending her return from New Delhi. The march will start from Rajabazar and end at Park Circus, areas with significant minority populations. The state BJP leadership has criticised the proposed rally.
