Win Bengal In 2026, Then Remove BJP From Centre: Mamata Rallies TMC Over Bengalis ‘Harassment'
Addressing the TMC's Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata, the West Bengal Chief Minister said she will not allow a SIR-like exercise in Bengal The alleged mistreatment of Bengal-speaking migrants in BJP-ruled states is likely to become a key plank for the Trinamool Congress in the 2026 assembly polls, with its supremo, Mamata Banerjee, giving a target to TMC cadres to win 206 seats in the state election and then move to remove the BJP from power at the Centre. Addressing the TMC's Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata, the West Bengal Chief Minister alleged that the BJP and the Election Commission are conspiring against Bengal and want to remove Bengalis from the voter list. But she said her government will not allow an exercise like the Election Commission's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar in her state. 'We have to win more seats in the 2026 Bengal assembly polls, then aim to defeat the BJP at the Centre. Our fight will continue till we oust the BJP from the Centre," she said. She also hit out at Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and asked who has authorised the BJP government in Assam to send the National Register of Citizens (NRC) notices to residents of Bengal. 'You can't handle Assam, but you are meddling in Bengal. I want to inform Sushmita Dev to organise a massive protest in Assam. We all will join," she said. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 14:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
