Her statement comes after the TMC registered a thumping win in the Assembly elections in West Bengal. As per the latest trends of the Election Commission, TMC has won 210 seats whereas Bharatiya Janata Party has secured 77 seats.
- On Sunday, TMC chief and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also said that they faced the "horror" of the Election Commission during the elections.
The Madras High Court has also criticised the Election Commission for its alleged failure to maintain Covid-19 protocol during poll campaigns and said it "should be put up on murder charges" for being the "most irresponsible institution."
- The poll panel has, however, moved the Supreme Court against the comments made by the high court.
