BJP leader Dilip Ghosh criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state, calling her actions “dramatic” and legally weak. Ghosh questioned the need for Banerjee’s petition, suggesting that her government’s repeated court appearances were weakening its stance. He highlighted alleged injustices faced by women, opposition members, and the Hindu community in Bengal, accusing the ruling party of targeting these groups.
Ghosh expressed concerns over the mistreatment of women and opposition activists in Bengal, along with the alleged targeting of the Hindu community. He drew parallels with historical exiles of Hindus from other regions, emphasizing the current challenges faced by Hindus in Bengal. Ghosh’s remarks come amidst escalating tensions in the state ahead of the Supreme Court hearing on Banerjee’s plea against the SIR process, which she claims could disenfranchise marginalized voters.
The political clash in Bengal intensifies as the Supreme Court prepares to address Banerjee’s challenge to the SIR process. Banerjee has raised concerns about potential voter deletions, particularly among marginalized communities, and has requested the court to halt such actions. The ongoing dispute reflects the deep-seated divisions over electoral procedures, governance practices, and community issues in the state.
