TMC MP Saugata Roy slams re-polling in Falta assembly Constituency, says ‘not happy decision’
Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy criticised the decision to hold re-polling in Falta, saying the move was “not a happy decision” and questioning the rationale behind isolating a single constituency.
Reacting to the development, Ms. Roy told ANI, “According to us, it is not a happy decision. Why alone Falta would be isolated and why elections are held there again is not clear to us…. When elections are held, we will participate in them.”
According to the ECI, directives for fresh repolling have been given in Falta “on consideration of severe electoral offences and subversion of the democratic process during the polling in a large number of polling stations on April 29.”
Earlier on Saturday (May 3, 2026), the BJP delegation met with West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal. TMC leader Kunal Ghosh visited the Netaji Indoor Stadium, which has strong rooms with EVMs.
