West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee conducted her first community outreach meeting in Bhabanipur, focusing on the upcoming 2026 assembly elections. She criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly removing names of voters from minority and migrant communities during the electoral roll revision process. Banerjee highlighted that elections should be a festival of democracy, urging unity among people from diverse backgrounds, including Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, and others. She claimed that around 300 nuns had reported missing names from the voters' list and accused the BJP of using divisive tactics to manipulate electoral outcomes. The meeting, which took place at Ladies' Park, was attended by various community representatives who expressed their support for Banerjee, hoping for her re-election for a fourth consecutive term. She reassured attendees that West Bengal would remain a place of religious freedom and communal harmony, countering the BJP's alleged attempts to disrupt social unity.
