Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, has strongly criticized the central government led by the BJP, accusing it of falsely portraying Bengalis as outsiders. At a public rally, she declared, “We will fight inch by inch,” indicating a strong resolve against the perceived injustice. Banerjee highlighted the historical importance of Bengalis, drawing attention to their role in the nation’s cultural heritage, specifically mentioning the national anthem. She accused the BJP of removing names from voter lists as elections approach, a tactic she alleged was used in several other states. Banerjee vowed to confront such practices in West Bengal, respecting the Election Commission while vowing to resist BJP’s alleged meddling.
