It is pertinent to mention that last month in order to protest against the price hike of petroleum products, Mamata Banerjee drove an electric scooter on her own while returning from the West Bengal secretariat ‘Nabanna’ to her residence.
Meanwhile, TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien writes to Election Commision of India (ECI) for removal of Deputy Election Commissioner Sudeep Jain from the post of Bengal in charge during the assembly polls.
TMC MP Saugata Roy stated that during the 2019 Parliamentary election, Jain had been partial towards the saffron camp.
“The goons of the BJP during Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s roadshow in Kolkata had vandalized the statue of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar but Sudeep Jain didn’t take necessary action against the BJP. So it was necessary to write to ECI for his removal,” mentioned Saugata.
Notably, at a road show of the then BJP national president Amit Shah’s in Kolkata’s College Street area in April 2019, the BJP-TMC cried foul against each other over the vandalism of the statue of the saint in Kolkata. Where TMC claimed that the ‘outsiders’ BJP doesn’t respect the saints of Bengal, the BJP alleged that the saints of West Bengal are not respected by the ruling Trinamool Congress.
