West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has strongly criticized Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, referring to him as 'Vanish Kumar' and stating that the people of India will not forgive him for allegedly taking away voting rights. She questioned the immunity granted to the CEC and Election Commissioners under a 2023 law, arguing it protects them from accountability. Banerjee also alleged irregularities in the electoral roll revision in West Bengal, claiming disproportionate voter deletions in TMC strongholds and accused the BJP of masterminding EVM burning incidents.
