Political tension has increased further amid the election atmosphere in West Bengal. All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has warned IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma, posted on election duty. The party has alleged that his appointment is politically motivated and if he tries to move beyond the role of an impartial observer, it will be met with political opposition. IPS Ajay Pal Sharma, who was on election duty as an observer in South 24 Parganas, had recently raised objection to the TMC candidate scaring voters by sending goons, the video of which is going viral on social media.
TMC spokesperson Riju Dutta has given a direct threat and said, after May 4, BJP will not be able to save you and at the same time the party spokesperson has accused the officer of bias. He said that any kind of additional action will not be tolerated and a political response will be given to it.
The controversy deepened when party leaders shared a video in which IPS Ajay Pal Sharma is warning those who intimidate voters by sending goons in the absence of the TMC candidate. In the video, Ajay Pal Sharma is seen saying, “If someone misbehaves, he will be dealt with as per the law.” This video quickly went viral on social media and became the center of political debate.
TMC also mentioned an alleged ‘cash-for-posting’ case of 2020 and other allegations in which Sharma’s name had cropped up. The party also cited allegations of personal misconduct made by a woman, although Sharma has previously denied these allegations and has continued to hold senior positions.
Let us tell you that Ajay Pal Sharma is known for his strict policing image in Uttar Pradesh.
This entire development is adding more tension to the sensitive election environment of West Bengal. While TMC is trying to put pressure on the role of the institutions monitoring the electoral process by terming this appointment as “political interference”. Amidst the growing political tension in the state, the pressure on the administration to ensure fair and peaceful elections has increased further.
