Amit Malviya, the chief of the BJP's national IT cell, has accused Bratya Basu, West Bengal's Education Minister and a member of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's cabinet, of threatening police and civil servants against following directives from the Election Commission of India (ECI). Malviya described Basu's remarks as a serious threat to institutional integrity, urging the ECI to take action. In a video shared by Malviya, Basu cautioned police volunteers about potential repercussions for their actions, suggesting that some officials might face consequences if they are perceived as undermining the state government. These comments come amid rising political tensions in West Bengal, where opposition parties have expressed concerns about the integrity of institutions during the electoral process. As West Bengal prepares for assembly elections on April 23 and April 29, there has been no response from Basu or the ruling Trinamool Congress party regarding the allegations made by the BJP.
