He claimed that the SIR exercise had been \u201cwelcomed&#8221; by all \u201cbonafide citizens,&#8221; but was being resisted only by TMC leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cWhy are they opposing it?&#8221; he asked, alleging that many unauthorised voters had infiltrated the country and obtained ration cards and Aadhaar documents \u201cwith the help of TMC leaders.&#8221; The deletion of such names from the voter rolls, he said, had rattled the ruling party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Majumdar, a former Bengal BJP president, further asserted that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee\u2019s vote bank had \u201cdrastically reduced&#8221; and predicted that \u201cno one can save her party from a poll debacle&#8221; in the coming months. He added that the people of the state wanted \u2018parivartan\u2019 (change) and that the BJP would deliver it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He also said that Bengal\u2019s residents would \u201creply democratically&#8221; to alleged instances of TMC leaders committing atrocities against BJP workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The TMC has sharply criticised the Election Commission\u2019s SIR exercise, calling it an attempt at \u201csilent vote rigging.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u00a0Party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and the Centre of trying to win elections using \u201cnotes, not votes,&#8221; and alleged that the SIR was being used to brand Bengali migrants as Bangladeshis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Banerjee also questioned the timeline set for the revision process and flagged threats faced by booth-level officers during enumeration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">BJP National Spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari joined in the criticism by posting a video on X in which he wrote, \u201cHer vote bank survives on infiltrators \u2014 that\u2019s why she is desperate to block SIR.&#8221; and claimed that a fake Aadhaar and voter card racket was \u2018nurtured\u2019 by the Bengal CM.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2018 SORKAR THEKE DIYECHE.
