Mamata Banerjee Backs Joint Opposition Stand on EC, Says No Differences With CPI(M)

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said her party has no reservations about working with CPI(M) nationally, setting aside state-level differences ahead of the INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi on September 30. She criticised the Election Commission over the SIR, alleging large-scale voter deletions in West Bengal and renewed calls for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal while urging a transparent electoral process.
