BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty criticized the Trinamool Congress for engaging in what he termed as “divisive politics” in West Bengal. He highlighted concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and the presence of “dead voters” in the electoral rolls. Chakraborty emphasized the need for transparency in the upcoming Assembly elections and questioned irregularities in the voting system.
Speaking about the alleged divisive politics, Chakraborty pointed out that this trend emerged after Mamata Banerjee became the Chief Minister of the state. He expressed his dismay over the division between communities and the manipulation of votes to favor a particular group. Chakraborty stressed the importance of unity and fair electoral practices.
Regarding the SIR process and voter lists, Chakraborty raised concerns about the discovery of numerous ‘dead voters.’ He questioned the authenticity of votes cast in the names of deceased individuals and called for a thorough investigation into the matter. Chakraborty defended the revision exercise, stating that it should be uniformly applied to ensure fairness for all parties involved.
Chakraborty also criticized the opposition’s resistance to the revision process, questioning the motives behind their objections. He highlighted the need for clarity on why certain groups were against the revision exercise and emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional principles. Chakraborty urged for a transparent and unbiased approach to electoral procedures to maintain the integrity of the democratic process.
