BJP steps up attack on Didi over SIR remarks, accuses her of ‘inciting riots’ in state

The EC is learnt to have decided in principle to conduct the SIR in West Bengal and other states scheduled to go to assembly polls next year. Banerjee has alleged that her officials were being threatened even before announcement of assembly poll dates.

Banerjee accused the BJP of "playing with fire" in the name of SIR. She also warned that any attempt to tamper with the voter list would amount to a "betrayal of democracy".
