Kolkata: Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee has said that she will not tolerate the deletion of names of voters from one particular community in the state following the voter list revision.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mamata Banerjee addressing media persons said the Election Commission of India is unnecessarily hurrying to begin and complete the special intensive revision (SIR) process in West Bengal at a time when, on one hand, the festive season in West Bengal is and, on the other , several people in rain and landslide-hit regions in North Bengal are struggling to come out of the crisis as a result of the natural calamity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not tolerate it if the names of people from any particular community in the state are deleted from the voters\u2019 list because of this unnecessary hurry. I am asking them (ECI) not to play with fire. A crisis situation because of a natural calamity is still prevailing in West Bengal. Houses of several people have been washed away because of the flood. In such a situation, from where will they furnish the necessary documents for the SIR? Some are on vacation because of the ongoing festive season. How will they furnish the documents?\u201d the Chief Minister asked.<\/p>\n
Her comments come at a time when an Indian team, led by the Deputy Election Commissioner Gyanesh Bharti, is on a two-day visit to West Bengal to review the preparedness for SIR.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister also targeted the commission\u2019s officials without directly naming anyone and said they are working beyond their authority. \u201cOne particular officer has several charges of corruption against him. I will reveal those when the time comes. I hope that he will not act beyond his authority. He is unnecessarily threatening the state government officials. The state administration is yet to be taken over by the ECI. Then why is the Commission holding meetings with the booth-level officers now,\u201d the Chief Minister asked.<\/p>\n
Claiming that two residents of Nadia district have received the National Register of Citizens (NRC) just after the Durga Puja, CM Banerjee said that the development justifies her apprehension that the Modi government was trying to impose the NRC in West Bengal in the name of SIR.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy were NRC notices slapped in the name of SIR? Is the government trying to enforce the NRC in the state? It will never be successful. The SIR is actually a conspiracy to delete the names of genuine voters from the voters\u2019 list. A saffronisation attempt of the Indian agencies is going on,\u201d the Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
