Mamata Banerjee Accuses BJP of Dividing Bengal Over Voter Deletions

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accuses the BJP and Election Commission of attempting to divide Bengal through alleged voter deletions in the post-SIR electoral rolls, claiming the actions aim to disenfranchise Bengali-speaking voters. Banerjee's ongoing protest emphasizes women's voter rights and challenges political maneuverings ahead of the assembly elections.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee raised serious allegations against the BJP and the Election Commission during her ongoing protest in Kolkata, where she accused them of conspiring to divide the state by deleting voters from the post-SIR electoral rolls.

Banerjee, addressing a gathering at her demonstration, stated that the deletions disproportionately affect Bengali-speaking people, alleging this is an attempt to turn parts of Bengal into a union territory and disenfranchise voters ahead of the upcoming assembly elections.

The chief minister highlighted the plight of women voters whose names have been removed and called for a demonstration on International Women's Day, where thousands of women are expected to protest. The rally will also target the BJP's alleged failure to uphold women's rights and promises.
