West Bengal Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has taken the issue of alleged harassment of party workers in Baharampur to the Chief Election Commission. In a formal letter addressed to Rajiv Kumar, Chowdhury detailed his concerns regarding the actions of two police officers in Baharampur who, as per his claims, have been harassing Congress workers by falsely implicating them in cases.
Chowdhury specifically pointed out in his letter that the alleged harassment was not random but seemed to be strategically planned to undermine the morale of Congress workers and hinder his election campaign. He accused the police officers of misusing their authority to target party affiliates with the objective of disrupting the Congress Party's electoral prospects in the region. The Congressman emphasized the urgency of the situation and urged the election commission to take prompt action to replace the officers involved in the harassment.
As the Congress leader vies for a sixth consecutive term from the Baharampur Lok Sabha seat, the timing of these alleged incidents raises suspicions of politically motivated maneuvers aimed at obstructing his electoral campaign. With the elections approaching, this development adds a layer of complexity to the electoral landscape and highlights concerns over fair play and the protection of democratic processes in the West Bengal region.
