Abhishek Banerjee Urges Supreme Court to Restore TMC Government, Seek Fresh Bengal Polls
TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee has questioned the electoral legitimacy of the BJP government in West Bengal, urging the Supreme Court to restore the previous TMC administration and order fresh elections within six months. His call follows the Court's remarks that its earlier approval of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was interim and that the legality of using the "logical discrepancy" category remains undecided. Banerjee emphasized reinstating voters excluded from the rolls to ensure electoral fairness.
