Mamata Banerjee mocks CEC Gyanesh Kumar at Kolkata’s Ramlila Maidan

Mamata Banerjee, who served as West Bengal’s chief minister for over a decade, addressed a gathering at Ramlila Maidan in Kolkata and directed a pointed jab at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. She used the phrase “Vanish, vanish…” while questioning the CEC’s actions, suggesting that the election authority should disappear from the political arena.
The remarks were delivered in a highly charged atmosphere, with Banerjee’s supporters cheering as she highlighted perceived shortcomings of the Election Commission. No official response from the CEC’s office was recorded at the time of reporting.
Political analysts noted that the episode reflects the continuing friction between the state’s ruling party and the central election machinery, especially ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
