Abhishek Banerjee Urges Supreme Court to Restore Previous Government in West Bengal

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee has questioned the electoral legitimacy of the BJP government in West Bengal and urged the Supreme Court to restore the previous elected government. He also called on the court to direct the conduct of fresh elections in the state within six months.

Banerjee’s remarks came after the Supreme Court clarified that it had not yet adjudicated the legality of the Election Commission’s use of the “logical discrepancy” category to scrutinise voter details during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The issue concerns the scrutiny of voter information as part of the electoral roll revision process.
