Banerjee raised concerns over multiple inconsistencies in the final SIR list, alleging that the names of common voters were forcibly deleted to meet pre-set targets. He claimed that many people, including 243 individuals who reached out to him, were listed as dead despite being alive.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) released the final electoral roll following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in West Bengal, stating that 5,46,053 voters have been deleted using Form 7 after the draft list was published in December 2025.
Speaking to ANI, Ghosh said that the West Bengal CM opposed the SIR and approached High Court and Supreme Court to put up a "fight" against it. He further stated that Banerjee has agreed that duplicate names in electoral roll would touch 1.20 crore because they were included deliberately.
Speaking to the ANI, Chattopadhyay said, "Mamata Banerjee assigned responsibility to everyone... Nothing will happen this time... They sent a lot of people from the force earlier, too."
BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh on Wednesday said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has always run parallel to the central government, underlining that it is not right for the federal structure, after Banerjee's proposal to change the name of West Bengal to 'Bangla.'
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Agnimitra Paul on Wednesday criticised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her call to rename the state from West Bengal to 'Bangla', urging the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader to refrain from doing politics over the state's name.
Addressing the gathering, CM Banerjee described Bhawanipur as a "mini-India," emphasising that people from all castes and religions live together harmoniously in the area. She further stressed that every religion and caste possesses its own unique specialities and cultural significance.
"If she (Mamata Banerjee) has demanded it, then the Central government should accept it. If the name of Kerala can be changed, then why not the name of West Bengal?" Abdullah said.
After the Union Cabinet decided to rename Kerala to 'Keralam', West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday demanded that the Centre rename the state as 'Bangla'.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Subhranshu Roy, son of veteran politician Mukul Roy, on Monday said that "no one from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contacted" him following the passing of his father at a private hospital in Kolkata.
In a post on X, Mamata Banerjee wrote, "I am deeply shocked and grieved by the sudden news of the demise of veteran politician Mukul Roy. He was my long-time political colleague and a comrade-in-arms in many political struggles. The news of his departure has left me heartbroken."
