Mamata warns of dharna over any voter deletion

The CM's remarks came a day after Amit Shah warned in Parliament that those “standing with infiltrators” would “vanish from Bengal”, prompting Banerjee to issue a sharp counter Thursday

- 

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday intensified her attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, calling him “dangerous” and warned that she would sit on an indefinite dharna if even a single eligible voter's name was excluded during the SIR exercise.

Addressing a rally in Nadia district's Krishnanagar, Banerjee alleged that Shah was directly guiding attempts to remove “1.5 crore names” from the voters' list, and accused the Centre and EC of using the SIR of electoral rolls to unlawfully delete names of lakhs of eligible Bengali voters ahead of the 2026 assembly polls.

"The country's home minister is dangerous. His two eyes send a message of disaster-in one eye you see Duryodhan, and in the other, Dushasan. He asks to tag the people of these bordering areas as Rohingyas and Bangladeshi," Banerjee said, dramatically intensifying the rhetoric she has been using over the past week in her public meetings.
