flag On February 18, 2026, Trinamool Congress leaders, including MP Mahua Moitra and Abhishek Banerjee, accused Election Commission officials in West Bengal of violating Supreme Court guidelines by using WhatsApp to issue directives to micro observers during the voter list verification process. flag They alleged that central officials, including Special Roll Observer C. Murugan, bypassed official channels, directed voter deletions, and misused login credentials, with some logins originating from locations inconsistent with observers’ postings. flag The TMC claimed these actions, aimed at targeting specific communities, undermined transparency and natural justice, especially after the ECI suspended seven officials without notice. flag The party vowed to seek Supreme Court intervention, citing broader concerns over political interference in the electoral process.
