Malda, February 4: BJP leader Dilip Ghosh has made sharp remarks regarding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. During his visit to Malda, West Bengal, Ghosh engaged in discussions about the elections over tea with local residents, addressing Banerjee’s recent trip to Delhi and the SIR (State Information Report) process.
Ghosh questioned, “Why did the Chief Minister go to Delhi when the SIR process is underway in West Bengal?” He claimed that Banerjee realizes that if the SIR is conducted properly, she will not return to power. This, he argues, is why she is creating a ‘drama’ in Delhi.
He noted that a meeting lasted about an hour and a half, after which Banerjee immediately began making statements to the media. Ghosh asserted that there is no issue with the SIR process; rather, it is her party workers who are allegedly harassing Booth Level Officers (BLOs). He accused them of deliberately complicating the SIR process to delay its completion.
The BJP leader also expressed confidence that, just as the Election Commission successfully completed the SIR process in Bihar, it will also be accomplished in West Bengal. He anticipates results similar to those in Bihar.
On the other hand, Purnia MP Rajesh Ranjan, also known as Pappu Yadav, responded to Banerjee’s meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner in Delhi. He supported Banerjee, stating, “Mamata is like Rani Jhansi; she knows how to fight.”
While the BJP raises questions about the SIR process under Banerjee’s leadership, voices of support for her are also emerging.
