ADVERTISEMENTBengal’s ruling party has warned it could lead to a constitutional crisis if the commission does not stop the bulk submission of Form 7. The Trinamool delegation alleged the Form 7 was politically motivated and the objections baseless. The delegation comprised MPs Partha Bhowmik, Saayoni Ghosh, ministers Manas Bhuniya, Shashi Panja and Trinamool leader Samir Chakraborty. The Trinamool claimed thousands of pre-filled Form 7 objections found in Hooghly’s Chinsurah and Bankura’s Taldangra with allegedly forged signatures indicated at a coordinated and premeditated act. Any inversion of this principle would amount to a fundamental subversion of due process and electoral fairness,” Bhowmick said.
