Won’t allow BJP to snatch voting rights, will fight till end: Mamata

Business To Business, Kolkata, 03 March 2026: Mamata Banerjee, speaking after Eid prayers in Kolkata, accused the BJP-led central government of attempting to undermine voting rights.
Banerjee claimed that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is:
Leading to large-scale deletion of voter names
Being used to influence the upcoming assembly elections

  • The BJP-led Centre under
    Narendra Modi
  • The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has:
    • Strongly opposed the revision exercise
    • Framed it as a threat to democracy
Banerjee stated that her party will “fight till the end” to protect:
  • Voting rights
  • Democratic processes
  • Electoral roll revisions are routine before elections
  • However, they often become politically sensitive if:
    • Voter names are removed
    • Allegations of bias or irregularities arise
This marks an escalation in political tensions ahead of elections, with the TMC alleging voter suppression, while the issue is likely to remain a major flashpoint in the state’s political landscape.
