Mamata Banerjee's Strong Remarks Against Narendra Modi
On Saturday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, labeling him the "biggest intruder" and warning that those targeting the state would face dire consequences. Speaking at a large public gathering during an Eid event, Mamata accused the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists as part of a broader scheme to influence the upcoming elections in Bengal next month. She stated that anyone who aims to undermine Bengal will end up in hell, asserting that Modi and his government are the primary intruders. The issue of illegal immigration has emerged as a significant topic ahead of the Bengal elections, with both Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah claiming that large-scale infiltration has altered the state's demographic structure.
BJP's Response to Banerjee's Accusations
The BJP quickly retaliated against Mamata Banerjee's comments, suggesting that her remarks reflect her deep fear of losing the elections. BJP leader Shishir Bajoria stated that anyone who refers to the Prime Minister as an intruder does not deserve to hold a constitutional position.

What Did Mamata Banerjee Say About Modi?
As she aims for a fourth consecutive term, the dynamic Chief Minister has attempted to link the issue of infiltration with the SIR process, which has become a contentious topic ahead of the elections. The final voter list published after the SIR process saw over 6.3 million names removed, accounting for 9% of the total electorate, with more than 6 million voters under scrutiny. Criticizing this process managed by the Election Commission, Mamata accused the BJP of stripping people of their "voting rights." She declared, "We will not allow Modi and the BJP to take away your voting rights. Many names were removed during the SIR process. I fought from Kolkata to Delhi against this," the Trinamool Congress leader asserted, also rallying the slogan, "Remove BJP, Save the Country."
