Mamata Banerjee 'bullying' BLOs, 'threatening' WB Chief Electoral Officer: BJP
New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who took out another anti-SIR march in the state, of “threatening anarchy” and asserted that her efforts to derail the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will not succeed.
It also alleged that Banerjee was “lying and twisting facts” with regard to the death of the booth level officers (BLOs) involved in the SIR exercise, and asked why her administration has not provided police and post-mortem reports of these poll officials “who died on duty”, depriving their families of due compensation.
Banerjee on Tuesday hit out at the Election Commission (EC) and the BJP over the ongoing SIR exercise in the state, and said the saffron party could deploy “crores of rupees and all central agencies”, but “would still not be able to fight” her politically.
“If you try to target and hit me (politically) in Bengal, I will shake your foundation across the country… A wounded tiger is more dangerous…,”........
