New Delhi [India], March 19 (HBTV): Trinamool Congress leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Derek O'Brien on Tuesday demanded Supreme Court-monitored Lok Sabha elections alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) ‘tricks’ are destroying the Election Commission of India (ECI). 

The TMC leader hit out at the BJP accusing them of manipulating the electoral landscape ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. 

‘BJP's filthy tricks destroying institutions like ECI. Are BJP so nervous to face people that they are turning ECI into a party office to target Opposition? ECI or HMV? Transferring officers of elected State governments! For free and fair elections. We want a Supreme Court-monitored election,’ O'Brien stated in a post on X. 

Earlier TMC Spokesperson Kunal Ghosh had also criticized the Union government after the ECI took the decision to replace DGP Rajeev Kumar.
