The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has written to the Election Commission alleging irregularities in the scrutiny of BJP Rajya Sabha nominee Rahul Sinha's nomination papers, claiming a revised affidavit was submitted late without public verification. TMC argues this violates Supreme Court directives on transparency and urges cancellation of Sinha's candidature. Sinha denies these allegations, stating all documents were in order and objections were dismissed by the returning officer. The Rajya Sabha elections in West Bengal are scheduled for March 16, with TMC expected to win four seats and BJP one.
