Mamata to Court Over 'Inhumane' Bengal Voter Roll Revision; BJP Reacts

• Mamata Banerjee announced she will move court against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal, citing 'inhumane treatment' of people.
• She alleged the SIR exercise caused fear, harassment, and administrative arbitrariness, forcing terminally ill and elderly citizens to stand in long queues.
• Banerjee claimed 81 people died in two months due to the increased workload from the SIR process, which saw 58 lakh voter names deleted.
• BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari defended SIR, stating it protects citizens and is within ECI's constitutional powers, advising legal action only after February 14.
• Mamata also criticized the BJP for alleged discrimination against Bengali-speaking migrant workers and for spreading lies.
