SIR part of BJP conspiracy to capture Bengal: CM Mamata
The Statesman Siliguri
|December 04, 2025
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday sharply criticised the implementation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, accusing the BJP ~ particularly Union Home Minister Amit Shah ~ of engineering a conspiracy to "capture Bengal" ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
Addressing a political rally at Gazole in Malda, which centred on what she described as the "protection of voters' rights in West Bengal," the Chief Minister alleged that the SIR exercise was being misused as a political tool.
"No matter how hard you try, reaching your goal is now a far cry. By engaging in SIR, you have dug your own grave," Miss Banerjee said, launching a direct attack on the BJP.
