Overview
- Trinamool Congress asked the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer to direct police to file an FIR, alleging Adhikari threatened Booth Level Officers by citing recent detentions during Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision.
- IANS said it could not independently verify the party-posted video that TMC claims supports the allegation.
- BJP leaders rejected the charge, saying Adhikari only stressed that BLOs must follow Election Commission rules, and the party separately complained against a TMC district leader for allegedly threatening BLOs.
- The Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision will conduct house-to-house enumeration in West Bengal from November 4 to December 4.
- Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee announced a Kolkata rally on November 4 to oppose the SIR, as some BLOs flagged safety concerns and sought security for field visits.
