BJP misusing 'Vanish Commission' to erase legitimate voters from electoral rolls, alleges Mamata
Allegations of voter suppression by a political party raise serious concerns about democratic processes.
Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, has continued her sit-in protest against alleged arbitrary deletions in the post-SIR voter list. She accused the BJP of "misusing" the Vanish Commission to erase legitimate voters and described their actions as an "unprecedented and direct assault" on democratic foundations. The Election Commission is scheduled to arrive in Kolkata to review poll preparedness, with Banerjee claiming that the BJP's goal is to replace the Constitution with its own party manifesto. The TMC supremo asserted her priority is the people of Bengal while comparing the situation to the fight against colonial rule.
