Claiming that West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) had conspired to include names of infiltrators in electoral rolls in the state, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis asserted that while the party was objecting to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls, people whose names had been deleted for “rightful reasons” had not protested.
Addressing a press conference in Kolkata on Friday, Fadnavis claimed the border areas of West Bengal have witnessed a demographic shift due to cross-border infiltration.
“Those whose names were deleted for rightful reasons did not protest. Why does only the TMC have an issue? The Supreme Court made certain observations about SIR but did not stop it, yet the TMC wanted to halt the process altogether,” he said.
