A delegation of ten members from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) met with the Election Commission of India (ECI) in Delhi, following a series of allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for misusing central agencies such as the ED, CBI, IT, and NIA against opposition parties. The TMC has accused the BJP of collusion with these agencies, particularly highlighting an incident involving NIA officials in West Bengal, referred to as 'Sandeshkhali 2.0', and alleging that BJP's Jitendra Tiwari met with a top NIA official before the agency sent notices to TMC leaders on March 27. In response, TMC leaders, including Derek O'Brien and Dola Sen, staged a 24-hour dharna outside the EC's office on April 6 and were subsequently detained by Delhi Police. The TMC's demands include the immediate transfer of the heads of these agencies to ensure a fair and level playing field for all political parties ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The AAP has extended its support to the TMC, with Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj joining the protest and criticizing the misuse of central agencies.
