Speaking after the commission’s decision, Banerjee stressed that political parties are not private limited companies and cannot have heirs. He argued that the freeze of the party’s symbol and name demonstrates that dynastic politics has no place in a democratic system. The opposition leader called for a level playing field where parties compete on policies, not family lineage.
