Status: Not Approved
Hours after the Supreme Court order was out, Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya said, “Whether it takes 80 days or 180 days for the ECI, it has to ensure an error-free voter list. Bhattacharya said that the BJP was able to win in more than 11,000 seats in the 2023 panchayat poll despite large-scale violence by Trinamool. Terming the 2026 assembly election as the last chance for the Santanis and tribals, Adhikari said, “This election is going to be the last one for the nationalist, sanatanis and tribal population in the state. BJP will not repeat the mistakes it made in 2021 and 2024. After we were told that the name of the state should be the same in Hindi, Bengali and English, we passed a resolution again to rename the state as Bangla in all 3 languages.”
Kolkata: Bengal BJP on Tuesday said that the Election Commission will have to ensure an “error-free voter list” even if it takes 180 days. The party, which raised concerns over “attempts to influence judicial officers”, said that judicial officers have to be requisitioned now as the state administration became “politicised”. Bengal is the only exception where problems were created to derail the SIR process,” Bhattacharya said. “Even if there is no central force or central agencies like ED or CBI, the BJP will win the election this time as people are going to vote to dislodge the govt,” he said. Bhattacharya said this earlier too as he tried to remove the sense of complacency among the party workers. MSID:: 128755711 413 | Earlier reporting noted: “The BJP-CPM alliance isn’t unwritten any more,” CM Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday, reacting sharply to the Centre overlooking the Bengal name change proposal while hastening to change Kerala to Keralam. The CM said, “One day, you ( BJP ) will not be in power. Earlier reporting noted: Reacting to the cabinet’s Kerala name change, the CM said, “I would like to congratulate the brothers and sisters of Kerala on the decision to rename the state as Keralam. Earlier reporting noted: The CM said, “Based on the culture of the state, we wanted to rename West Bengal as Bangla.
The special intensive revision was peaceful even in non-BJP states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. We are not going to spare an inch this time. We will get the name changed. The names of several states are changed once such proposals are endorsed by the respective state govts. However, the same was not the case with West Bengal. When our students go for exams or interviews, they are called at the end since the name of the state begins with ‘W’, which comes at the end alphabetically. I too face the same problem. I get the chance to speak at the end as I am the chief minister of West Bengal. In this regard, we passed resolutions twice in the Legislative Assembly.
“This follows serious concerns that details of attempts to influence judicial officers entered the public domain,” he wrote on his X handle. The administration was already politicised and that cannot be trusted anymore,” he said. Union minister Sukanta Majumdar also questioned the “unauthorised presence of Manoj Pant” at a Supreme Court-mandated meeting on SIR and flagged efforts to influence the process. He is no longer the chief secretary,” Majumdar said.
“There was never a situation before where judicial officers and judges had to be requisitioned from other states to complete the electoral roll revision. Bengal BJP minder Amit Malviya raised concerns over attempts to influence judicial officers. Bhattacharya also pointed at efforts to influence judges in the district. “There are efforts to influence judges in the districts not to grant bail (to arrested BJP workers). “The order clearly mentions who was authorised to attend the meeting to take forward the SIR process. Despite that, I received information that Manoj Pant was present. In what capacity did he attend?
Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, who went to the ECI office on Tuesday, said that the supplementary list, ordered by the Supreme Court, can be finalised after the names appearing in the logical discrepancy cases are backed up by documents.
Demanding “No SIR, No Vote”, Bhattacharya said that the ECI will have to go through every objection filed by the booth-level agents to ensure that none of the political parties are aggrieved. “The ECI will have to ensure that people get to submit their Form 7 (form for inclusion of names) and each of them has to be considered,” Bhattacharya said.
