Bengal Objects to EC's 'Illogical' Top Official Transfers; CM Writes to Commission
•West Bengal government objects to Election Commission's decision to transfer multiple top officials, including Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DGP, and IGP.
•The transfers were ordered on March 15-16, the same day the election schedule was announced.
•Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sent a letter to the EC, calling the large-scale transfers 'illogical' and 'unilateral'.
•The state claims no specific complaint or reason for electoral irregularity was cited, and established consultation practices were ignored.
•CM stated this undermines the federal structure and could damage the EC's credibility, urging them to avoid such unilateral actions.
