A delegation of ten members from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) met with the Election Commission of India (ECI) in Delhi, demanding the immediate transfer of the heads of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Income Tax Department, and National Investigation Agency (NIA) to ensure a fair playing field for all political parties in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The TMC alleges collusion between the NIA and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing the central agencies of being misused against opposition parties. Following their meeting with the ECI, TMC leaders, including Derek O'Brien and Dola Sen, staged a protest outside the EC's office and were subsequently detained by Delhi Police at Mandir Marg police station. The protest escalated with TMC leaders refusing to leave even after being released, leading to a 24-hour dharna outside the EC office. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) extended its support to the TMC, with Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj joining the protest and criticizing the central government for the alleged misuse of central agencies. TMC MP Dola Sen also mentioned their request to the EC to meet the victims of the Jalpaiguri storm to provide any possible help.
