Abhishek Banerjee Urges Supreme Court to Restore West Bengal Government, Seek Fresh 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 administration and order fresh elections within six months. His call follows the court's statement that it has not yet ruled on the legality of the Election Commission's use of the "logical discrepancy" category during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The Supreme Court emphasized its earlier permission was interim and has not finalized all issues related to the revision process.
