Overview
- TMC alleges a BJP rally at Sonakhali High School ground on April 20 overshot its 1:30 pm permit, with Suvendu Adhikari’s helicopter arriving at 3:10 pm and speeches running to about 5 pm in violation of the Model Code of Conduct.
- The complaint says police and Central Armed Police Forces blocked nearby roads and disrupted a cleared TMC program, which the party calls monopolisation of public space barred by Election Commission handbooks on force deployment and police observers.
- The party asks the Chief Electoral Officer to issue show-cause notices to Adhikari and candidate Tapan Dutta and to order security personnel to remain strictly neutral during campaigning.
- In separate filings, TMC alleges CRPF personnel used disproportionate force on residents in Nandigram on April 21 and flags social posts about trains ferrying voters from Surat as illegal inducement and transport under election law.
- Reports note no response yet from Adhikari, the BJP, or election authorities, and any Commission action could bring notices, inquiries, or replacement of personnel if bias or misconduct is found.
