"If she thinks she can regain power with Bangladeshis help, she is mistaken": BJP MP Samik Bhattacharya slams CM Mamata over voter list remark

New Delhi [India], August 7 (ANI): Reacting sharply to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee statement during her rally in Jhargram, that she would protest if genuine voters are removed from the electoral rolls, BJP MP and state president Samik Bhattacharya said on Thursday that she is mistaken if she thinks she will win with the help of illegal votes.

BJP MP and Bengal in-charge Samik Bhattacharya said to ANI, Let them protest. Mamata Banerjee demand is why the names of those who died should be removed. If she thinks she can come to power for the 4th time with the help of Bangladeshis, Jihadis, Rohingyas, illegal migrants, and illegal voters, then she is mistaken.

He added that the Chief Minister objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process is an attack on the constitutional institutions.

He further added, How will the people of India tolerate such an attack on a constitutional institution? Whatever Mamata Banerjee has to say, she should go to the Supreme Court and tell them... This government will go this time.

Bhattacharya remarks came after Banerjee protest in Jhargram , where she slammed the BJP over their demand to carry out Special Intensive Revision (SIR) activity in West Bengal and alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) was acting as an agent of the Union Home Minister. She said that she would continue to raise her voice if genuine voters were removed from the voter list.

CM Mamata Banerjee held a protest march in Jhargram on Wednesday, alleging harassment of Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states.

Mamata Banerjee said, If genuine voters are removed from the voter list, then I will protest in the entire world. Malpua (BJP leader Amit Malviya) is demanding my arrest. Even if you come to arrest me or shoot me, I will keep protesting against the insult of the Bengali language.

There is an NRC conspiracy behind the ongoing SIR activity. In Assam, nearly seven lakh people have been removed from the voter list, which includes Hindu Bengalis. Notices are being sent in Cooch Behar and Alipurduar and Indian residents are being sent to Bangladesh. Not a single name should be excluded from the voter list. Our two officers received notice from ECI regarding their suspension. There is no need to fear. Eight to nine months are left for the polls, but the BJP has started to suspend people from now itself. ECI is acting as the agent of the BJP, she said.

She hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah and alleged that he felt that whatever he would say is going happen.

They have not got single majority. With the help of ECI if you feel that you will remove names of people from the voter list. We all took birth in home. From where will we bring the birth certificate? They say that those who are 41 or 42 years old also have to bring the birth certificates of their parents. Where is the birth certificate of the Home Minister? Show me the birth certificate of your parents. The day before yesterday, they said that they would do SIR. The country and Bengal we know in that all religions are equal, she said.

She further said that the BJP has created detention camps in Assam, Rajasthan, Odisha, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

We have brought back many people. BJP double engine government cannot handle the country. In fear of the NRC, people are dying by suicide. When you go to Dubai, you hug the Sheikh, and when you come to Bengal, you say to remove the Muslims. If you try to snatch rights of any people, or create a row over language then we will stand in the way, she added. (ANI)
