TMC MP's Controversial Remark on Chief Election Commissioner Amid Voter List Dispute

TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee sparked controversy by stating he would have cut Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's finger if the latter had not held his constitutional post, alleging Kumar behaved disrespectfully toward West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee during a protest over voter list revisions. Opposition leaders criticized Banerjee's remarks as disrespectful to constitutional institutions. The comments come amid TMC's protests against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision, which led to significant deletions and legal scrutiny of voters ahead of West Bengal Assembly elections.
