Key Questions Answered
Rajeeva Sinha revealed that rigging and irregularities were encouraged during panchayat elections under the Trinamool administration, adding that the administration was completely politicized. Debasish Sen supported these claims and stated that qualified bureaucrats who were not close to the ruling party failed to secure important positions.
Trinamool MLA Kunal Ghosh criticized former bureaucrats Rajeeva Sinha and Debasish Sen for speaking out only now, tauntingly asking if they were previously sucking their thumb while Mamata Banerjee trusted them blindly. He also questioned whether the BJP was orchestrating their statements following the Gyanesh Kumar incident.
Debasish Sen cited former State Election Commissioner Meira Pandey as an example, noting that she did not blindly follow the state government's opinions because the state election commissioner holds a constitutional post and can act independently.
