Mamata Banerjee slams Amit Shah attacks and strongly counters the Union Home Minister’s remarks made during his Kolkata press conference. The West Bengal Chief Minister accused the Centre of harassing citizens through the Special Intensive Revision process.
Banerjee said the Centre plans to remove 1.5 crore names from voter lists for political gain. She claimed the exercise lacks transparency and runs in election mode. The Chief Minister dismissed Shah’s allegations, saying she does not care about such attacks.
She questioned the Centre’s claims on security and asked who takes responsibility for terror incidents like the Pahalgam attack. Banerjee also referred to violence in Delhi and demanded accountability.
On land allocation, she rejected Shah’s accusations. She said the state provided land for railway projects, coal mining, and border infrastructure. Banerjee accused the Centre of stopping welfare schemes and renaming existing programmes to mislead people.
She alleged that SIR targets Rajbanshi, Matua, and tribal communities. Banerjee cited a Purulia case where an elderly man died during the verification process. She questioned repeated voter deletions despite Aadhaar availability.
TMC MP Saket Gokhale also attacked Shah over infiltration claims. He said repeated statements expose the Centre’s failure on internal security.
