Suvendu Adhikari writes to ECI accusing CM Mamata Banerjee of ‘tarnishing’ CEC’s image. He claims that the Chief Minister, while addressing a rally of party leaders and workers at Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata on Thursday, questioned Kumar’s appointment as the CEC. The Leader of Opposition has also annexed the translated version in English of the video clip of the relevant portion of the chief minister’s speech where she was heard referring to the C EC’s appointment. He has accused the Trinamool Congress Chief of trying to influence electoral processes in the country by filling up positions such as the Chief Election Commissioner with ‘BJP people’ and by doing so the BJP is “trying to influence” the Election Commission of India, the letter read. The LoP has ended the letter requesting the Cec to take cognizance of the Chief Ministers’ comments on this count.
