Won’t Allow BJP to Snatch Voting Rights, Will Fight Till End: Mamata Banerjee
Mamata Banerjee claims 546,000 voter names were deleted in West Bengal's electoral roll revision, alleging it targets minorities ahead of assembly elections.
- On Saturday, Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP-led Centre of trying to remove voting rights via the Special Intensive Revision, addressing thousands at Red Road ahead of next month’s polls.
- The Election Commission of India’s February 28 update recorded 5.46 lakh deletions and 60,06,675 cases marked 'under adjudication' as part of the SIR exercise, according to official figures.
- Banerjee said, 'We will not allow Modi ji and the BJP to take away your voting rights', and has approached the Calcutta High Court, Delhi, and the Supreme Court.
