New Delhi, May 1: The Trinamool Congress has approached the Supreme Court of India challenging the Election Commission of India decision to appoint central government staff as counting supervisors.
The party has raised concerns over the neutrality of the move, arguing that the appointment of central staff could compromise the transparency and fairness of the counting process.
According to sources, the petition seeks judicial intervention to ensure that the counting of votes remains free from any perceived bias and is conducted in a transparent manner.
The development comes amid heightened political tensions ahead of election results, with opposition parties increasingly questioning the role of central agencies in the electoral process.
The matter is expected to be taken up for hearing soon.
