West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ramped up her criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), labeling it a 'two-faced poisonous snake' that threatens the state's cultural integrity. During election rallies in Arambagh, Balagarh, and Sreerampore, she expressed concerns over the 91 lakh names removed from voter lists due to the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, which she claims is a conspiracy to undermine democracy. Polling is set for April 23 and 29, 2026, with results announced on May 4. Banerjee, a qualified lawyer, has indicated her intent to take legal action to restore disenfranchised voters' names. She further warned that a BJP victory would lead to restrictions on Bengali identity, citing dietary restrictions in BJP-ruled states as a precursor to similar policies in West Bengal. Banerjee also criticized the Election Commission for allegedly acting in favor of the BJP and condemned media outlets for biased reporting. She vowed to protect the interests of the people of Bengal against these perceived threats.
