Bengal CM Mamata: BJP Can’t Touch Your Voting Rights
1 min read
On a vibrant Eid gathering at Kolkata’s Red Road, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee rallied supporters against what she described as the BJP’s assault on democracy via voter list revisions. In her March 21 speech, she implicated PM Modi as the architect of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
Vowing protection, she proclaimed, ‘Neither BJP nor Modi will snatch your democratic right.’ Banerjee drew stark contrasts: Modi’s warm foreign interactions versus targeted purges back home. ‘Handshakes in Saudi, embraces in Dubai – then why delete voters upon return?’
She outlined the damage – rampant name deletions – and her Supreme Court intervention. ‘I’ll keep fighting these blind cuts,’ she declared.
ECI’s late announcement aligned: supplementary list for judicial cases out March 23. Data indicates 34% exclusions post-review, with tribunal appeals available.
Firing at polarization attempts, Banerjee said, ‘Bengal-targeters head to hell.’ Affirming secular legacy, she promised total opposition to faith-based divisions.
Abhishek Banerjee backed her, prioritizing harmony.
Banerjee’s address galvanizes TMC’s defense of voter rights amid rising political fervor.
