North 24 Parganas (West Bengal) [India], September 10 (ANI): Leader of Opposition in West Bengal and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday urged for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list to begin as soon as possible in the state.
He also accused the state government of institutional corruption, alleging that revenue is being looted by the police, local goons, and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee.
Speaking to the reporters, Suvendu Adhikari said, "...We want the process of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) to start in West Bengal as early as possible..."
"There is institutional corruption in West Bengal...The revenue is being looted by police, goons, CM Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee," Adhikari said.
BJP leader Tapas Roy said there is growing public anger against the West Bengal government over alleged corruption. He claimed that people are ready to give a strong reply in the 2026 elections.
"...There is people's revolt against the corruption being done by the West Bengal government...People are very annoyed. The public is ready to give them a befitting reply in 2026," Roy said.
Earlier on September 4, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while speaking in the state assembly, launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, alleging that it is against the Bangla-speaking people.
She further stated that the BJP will face a time when they will have no MLA from their party in West Bengal. She said that no party that wages linguistic terror against Bengalis can ever win Bengal.
"I condemn BJP for their persecution of Bengalis. A time will soon come when not a single BJP MLA will remain in Bengal. The people themselves will ensure it. BJP will face inevitable defeat, for no party that wages linguistic terror against Bengalis can ever win Bengal," Mamata Banerjee said.
Mamata Banerjee further called the BJP a party of "vote chor", stating that it is corrupt to its core.
"BJP is a party of vote-chors, corrupt to the core, persecutors of Bengalis, and masters of deception. BJP is a national disgrace, and I condemn them in the strongest terms," she said. (ANI)
