Purba Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], July 27 (ANI): BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Sunday slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her Bhasha Aandolan 'drama' to stop Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
On July 25, while addressing a gathering in Kolkata, Banerjee called for another 'Bhasha Aandolan', alleging that the Bengali-speaking people in other states are being harassed.
Adhikari called Banerjee 'protector' of the Bangladeshi Muslims and alleged that a big chunk of her vote bank is' infiltrators, Bangladeshis and Rohingyas.'
'It is only a drama to stop SIR. Mamata Banerjee is a relative of the Rohingyas. She is the protector of Bangladeshi Muslims. A big part of her vote bank are infiltrators, Bangladeshis and Rohingyas', Adhikari told ANI.
Earlier, at an event in Kolkata on July 21, Mamata Banerjee had also slammed the Election Commission of India, stating that the electoral body has removed 40 lakh people from the voters' list in Bihar and claimed that it wants to do the same in West Bengal as well.
'ECI removed over 40 lakh names from the voters' list in Bihar, and now you want to do the same in Bengal? Try it, and we will launch a Gherao movement...We will not let this new law stand. We will fight, we will change it, we will not accept it', Banerjee said during her address.
The Election Commission of India is conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections in the state later this year.
The ECI had clarified that names in the electoral rolls will not be deleted without a proper notice and written order by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO), as per SIR guidelines.
Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise has revealed that approximately 35 lakh electors are either untraced or have permanently migrated from their registered addresses. (ANI)
