Mamata Slams BJP Over SIR Protest in Kolkata | GT ISL

• Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal CM, led a massive rally in Kolkata protesting the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

• She criticized the BJP and Election Commission, alleging the SIR is being used for “silent rigging” and questioned voter deletions in Bihar, asking: “How many Rohingyas were identified there?”

• Banerjee highlighted that speaking Bangla doesn’t mean being Bangladeshi and criticized the EC for not accepting Aadhaar cards as valid proof for voter registration.

• Thousands of TMC supporters joined a 3.8 km march from BR Ambedkar statue to Jorasanko Thakur Bari, waving flags and holding placards.

• BJP leaders countered, calling the rally a “rally of Jamat,” alleging demographic manipulation and encouraging inclusion of Rohingyas.

• The protest coincided with the second phase of SIR in 12 states, aimed at removing duplicate, deceased, migrated, or ineligible voters.

• Controversy arose from Bihar, where over 68 lakh names were reportedly removed during the first phase.

Key takeaway: Mamata accuses SIR of targeting marginalized and opposition-leaning voters, while BJP defends it as necessary voter verification.
