BJP Blatantly Conspiring with Central Agencies: TMC’s Letter to Governor: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has written a letter to West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose, expressing concerns about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The TMC accuses the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “blatantly conspiring” with central agencies against the Opposition. The party alleges that the BJP is using agencies like the NIA, ED, CBI, and IT to target opposition parties, including the TMC, and prevent them from functioning effectively during the elections.
The TMC also criticizes the Election Commission of India (ECI), accusing it of being a “silent referee” and not taking action to protect democratic rights. The letter highlights alleged ‘backroom talks’ between a BJP leader and an NIA Superintendent of Police to target TMC members, citing visitor’s register entries and alleged monetary considerations.

Furthermore, the TMC claims to have written multiple letters to the ECI against the central agencies’ actions in West Bengal, but these requests have been ignored. The letter mentions a recent incident in Delhi where TMC leaders were detained by the police during a peaceful protest, resulting in injuries to some leaders.
The party also raises concerns about the state government’s ability to release emergency funds following a cyclone and tornado that hit parts of West Bengal last month. Due to the Model Code of Conduct in place for the elections, there is an embargo on releasing new funds. The TMC has requested the Election Commission to allow the release of funds to assist those affected by the natural disasters.
In conclusion, the TMC’s letter to the West Bengal Governor highlights its concerns about the upcoming elections, alleging BJP’s collusion with central agencies to target the opposition. The party also criticizes the ECI for not taking action to protect democratic rights and requests the release of emergency funds for cyclone and tornado-affected areas.
