West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dubbed the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls as "votebandi," asserting she would protect voter rights even if her "throat gets slashed." Urging the Election Commission to immediately stop SIR, Banerjee claimed implementation wouldn't be as easy in Bengal as Bihar, accusing the EC of following BJP directives. She criticized the Centre for holding back state employees until February's final rolls publication, calling it a "super emergency" situation. Banerjee questioned the rushed timeline, reporting houses with eight voters receiving only two forms. She also attacked Union Home Minister Amit Shah over infiltration issues, demanding his resignation and criticizing GST revenue distribution favoring other states. (PC: NDTV)
