Abhishek Banerjee Launches TMC Campaign, Attacks CEC & BJP Over 'SIR'

  • Abhishek Banerjee launched TMC's "Abar Jitbe Bangla" campaign in South 24 Parganas, attacking BJP and CEC Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
  • Banerjee claimed CEC Gyanesh Kumar was aggressive during their Delhi meeting and hinted Mamata Banerjee might protest in Delhi against the Election Commission.
  • TMC alleges SIR is a BJP conspiracy to "steal Bengal's vote" and strip constitutional rights, making it a central election issue.
  • West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya refuted TMC's claims, challenging them to approach the Supreme Court and accusing TMC of vandalizing BJP offices.
  • Bhattacharya mocked TMC's Delhi protest plans as "political tourism" and stated that SIR is happening in 12 states without similar ruckus.

Why It Matters: TMC launches campaign, making 'SIR' a key election issue, while BJP refutes claims and challenges legal action.
