The Trinamool Congress organised a demonstration in Kolkata, West Bengal, on Tuesday, directed at Chief Election Officer Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission. Demonstrators aligned with the TMC raised slogans targeting the BJP during the protest.

Party representative Kunal Ghosh told a television channel that both the BJP and the administration had moved police and central forces into parts of Kolkata in a manner he described as suppressing what the party regarded as a peaceful gathering. Ghosh stated that affiliated youth and student bodies had arranged a non-confrontational gathering directed at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, though security forces positioned themselves along approach routes to keep attendees from assembling. He added, in a direct statement, that those wings operating under Mamata Banerjee's direction had put together an entirely law-abiding event at that location.

A written notice to police had been submitted by email beforehand. Ghosh told a prominent news outlet that, as of that morning, law enforcement and central forces had placed restrictions along the full length of the route.

Ghosh went on to claim that those wishing to attend the rally faced access restrictions at multiple points around the city, adding that movement into the area — spanning North and Central Kolkata — had been curtailed for would-be participants. He characterised the activity taking place under that initiative as entirely non-violent in nature.

Ghosh stated that the party had taken a public stance against Gyanesh Kumar, adding that this position was causing discomfort within the BJP. Ghosh then turned to the question of what has been driving the BJP's recent electoral difficulties.

Mamata Banerjee, who previously held the position of West Bengal Chief Minister, called on Monday for elections to be held using current electoral rolls until all eligible voters have been added to them. She stated that position amid opposition protests over what members of that grouping described as irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision exercise carried out under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Addressing reporters, Banerjee put forward the view that voter rolls ought to contain only the names of those entitled to cast a ballot.

Rahul Gandhi joined fellow INDIA bloc figures and their supporters in a march along Barakhamba Road toward the Supreme Court on Monday, with the group calling for the electoral rolls to remain unchanged until concerns over the Special Intensive Revision process could be addressed. A petition was brought before the country's highest court by the group of leaders.
