The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is fighting to have a fair say in the counting process for the upcoming elections. They've taken their concerns to the Supreme Court, asking them to overturn the Election Commission's (EC) decision to exclude state government staff from being vote counting supervisors. The TMC believes this decision is unfair and may lead to biased counting results.

The EC has been defending their decision, saying it's a standard practice they've followed in other states like Kerala. However, the TMC is not convinced, arguing that this approach is discriminatory towards West Bengal.

In court, the TMC highlighted their concerns, pointing out that the EC has worked with state government staff in the past without any issues. They also questioned why the EC is singling out West Bengal when they're not doing the same in other states.

The Supreme Court has heard the TMC's petition and has given their side of the story. They've pointed out that the Election Commission has the authority to appoint counting supervisors and assistants from either the state or central government. The court has also stated that if the TMC has any concerns about biased counting, they can file an election petition.

The TMC is hoping the Supreme Court will rule in their favor, ensuring a fair and unbiased counting process for the upcoming elections. Only time will tell if their efforts will pay off.
