New Delhi, Dec 12 (NationPress) BJP and JD(U) expressed concerns on Friday regarding West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's comments about SIR and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, suggesting they stem from fear, a sentiment often exhibited by those who are “fundamentally weak from within”.

CM Banerjee recently criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah, labeling him 'dangerous' and cautioning that she would initiate an indefinite dharna if any eligible voter's name was omitted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.

While speaking at a rally in Krishnanagar, Nadia district, Banerjee escalated her rhetoric, urging women to “fight back” against the potential removal of their names from the electoral rolls. She alleged that the revision process could be manipulated to intimidate “mothers and sisters” before the elections.

“Mothers and sisters, if your names are removed, you have things at home -- the ones you use for cooking. Do you have strength in your soul? If they cut your name, will you catch them? Women will lead the charge, and the men will support them. Bengal seeks to witness your strength,” she declared.

BJP MP Arun Govil remarked to IANS, “I believe such threats are often issued by individuals who are fundamentally weak. Amit Shah is a courageous and robust leader who remains unfazed by minor threats. While she calls him dangerous, I assert he is not just dangerous, but extremely dangerous to terrorists, Naxalites, and illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan.”

BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal commented, “Her language is so undisciplined that it’s preferable not to engage with it. This behavior typically arises when leaders sense they are losing influence. Mamata Banerjee understands that after April 2026, she will likely no longer be Chief Minister.”

BJP MP Biplab Kumar Deb stated, “Delhi is the capital of India. Does Mamata Banerjee wish for the capital of India to be in Pakistan? She appears oblivious to what she is saying. Freedom fighters from Bengal led movements to expel the British. Has she forgotten this history? Leaders facing the end of their tenure often resort to such tactics.”

BJP MP Shashank Mani Tripathi remarked, “When the truth emerges, the opposition tends to retreat. I believe she is fabricating a false narrative in West Bengal. Today, she is overwhelmed by fear. Amit Shah’s address was exceptional. He addressed all misconceptions point by point. Following that, the opposition exited, making it clear that the BJP endorses fair elections.”

BJP MP Jagannath Sarkar noted, “Rohingya and Bangladeshi Muslim voters, influenced by local circumstances, had their names improperly added. Removing them is entirely justified, but it must be done accurately and fairly. Why is Mamata Banerjee so agitated? She opposes the removal of these illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya voters.”

Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad added, “This language is undemocratic. When their agents are present at every booth, they must ensure forms are filled out correctly. We advocate for a fair election where the voter list is precise. It is not acceptable to reside in one location and vote elsewhere.”

JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha mentioned, “The language being employed reflects panic. In Bihar, a significant exercise was conducted within a month, and no complaints were raised by BLOs.”
