West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee led a massive protest march in Kolkata against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Holding a copy of the Constitution, she accused the BJP and Election Commission of “silent, invisible rigging.” Thousands of Trinamool Congress supporters joined the 3.8-km march from BR Ambedkar’s statue to Jorasanko Thakur Bari. The BJP hit back, calling it a “rally of Jamat” and accusing Mamata of promoting chaos. The SIR exercise aims to clean voter rolls but has sparked political clashes, with opposition parties alleging bias and fear among marginalised communities. (PC: India Today)
