A fresh political storm erupted in West Bengal after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the Election Commission of functioning like a "Tughlaqi Commission" and vowed support for state officials allegedly targeted by the poll body. The BJP hit back sharply, with MLA Agnimitra Paul claiming Mamata is acting as "Jamaat's B team" and celebrating outcomes across the border, escalating the war of words between the TMC and BJP.
