'Even if My Throat Is Slit': Mamata Banerjee Attacks BJP, Says Will Never Allow NRC or Detention Camps in Bengal
Mamata Banerjee claims the Special Intensive Revision caused fear and disruptions, citing 39 deaths linked to the process and pledges TMC support for affected voters.
- On Wednesday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of `orchestrating` the Special Intensive Revision to `capture West Bengal by trickery` at a massive anti-SIR rally in Malda's Gajol, calling it a politically-driven move.
- About three months before the polls, Banerjee argued the voter revision was launched to paralyse state machinery and enable President's Rule, blaming Amit Shah for the ploy.
- Reports show a sharp human impact, with deaths and hospitalisations as Banerjee highlighted at least 39 deaths, 13 critically injured, and urged correct submission of enumeration forms amid servers being down.
- From December 12, Banerjee said she would establish helpdesks across West Bengal and mobilise Trinamool workers to assist citizens and Booth Level Officers in correcting electoral roll entries.
- The BJP pushed back, saying Banerjee's comments reflected frustration, while the Election Commission denied wrongdoing and Prime Minister Narendra Modi called SIR a `necessary purification` amid Parliament Winter Session disruptions earlier this week.
