Adhikari Calls for Action Against IAS Officer Over DVC Allegations
A politician in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, is asking the government to take action against a government official, Mukta Arya.
Adhikari says Arya is making false claims about a government organization called DVC.
He claims Arya is doing this to please her bosses, potentially for political gain.
Arya, who is also in charge of elections in her district, made similar statements at a religious event.
Adhikari is worried that if people in charge of elections are biased, it could lead to unfair elections.
He has requested the Election Commission of India to look into the matter.
Suvendu Adhikari accused an IAS officer of creating false narratives against Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC).
The officer, Mukta Arya, made similar allegations at a Durga Puja pandal.
