Mamata says 'outsiders' being added to voter's list at her seat

Mamata Banerjee

Banerjee is likely to contest from Bhowanipore in the 2026 assembly elections.

“Bhowanipore is being gradually filled up by bringing in outsiders and this is being done in a well-planned manner. By mentioning outsiders, I am not referring to those who are residents of West Bengal. People (from outside) are coming here and purchasing land and constructing houses. They are giving money to locals and then leaving,” she said on Tuesday without naming anyone.
