West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments regarding the state's fish production during a public meeting in Palta, North 24 Parganas district. Banerjee asserted that despite Modi's claims, Bengal has made significant strides in self-sufficiency, producing 80% of its fish locally and 90% of its eggs. She challenged the Prime Minister to address issues affecting Bengalis in other states, particularly regarding their dietary choices. Furthermore, Banerjee condemned the BJP's actions concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that over 90 lakh voters had their names deleted, which she argued was an attempt to manipulate the electoral process in favor of the BJP. She vowed to restore the deleted names and protect the voting rights of all citizens, regardless of their political affiliations. The West Bengal Assembly elections are set to take place from April 23 to April 29, with the results announced on May 4.
