Differences between Election Commission and TMC
On April 8, a TMC delegation led by MP Derek O’Brien had reached Delhi to meet the Election Commission. But after the meeting, Derek said that we had asked for time on the SIR issue, but we were treated poorly during the meeting. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) chased us away in just 5 minutes
According to Election Commission sources, Derek O’Brien prevented and threatened the CEC from speaking. He was not listening to anything.
