TMC moves to Supreme Court

Earlier on November 19, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) party had moved a contempt of court plea in the Supreme Court against Tripura officials including the Home Secretary, Director General of Police (DGP), District Magistrate (West Tripura), and all-districts Superintendent of Police (SP) for failing to ensure security to party workers, campaigning for the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) elections, which are scheduled to be held on November 25.

On November 11, a bench comprising of Justices D Y Chandrachud, Surya Kant, and Vikram Nathin had directed the state government to ensure that all political parties, including TMC, are not prohibited from the campaign and exercising their electoral rights in the state. This comes as a petition was filed by TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev.
