Trinamool Congress alleges EC has not replied to RTI plea on NCPI for 84 days
The Trinamool Congress has accused the Election Commission of failing to respond to an RTI application regarding the Nationalist Citizens Party of India. The party is seeking transparency on the registration and funding of the NCPI following a mass defection of MPs.
Why it matters
The lack of transparency regarding political party funding and registration processes raises concerns about democratic accountability and the regulation of unrecognised political parties.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday (September 10, 2026) alleged that the Election Commission (EC) has not responded to a Right to Information (RTI) application seeking information on the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) though 84 days have passed since the application was made.
Shortly after the Trinamool was defeated in the West Bengal Assembly elections in May 20 of 28 Lok Sabha MPs elected on the party’s ticket shifted loyalties to the NCPI, a registered unrecognised political party (RUPP) little known until then.
