BJP tried to invalidate my candidature in Bhabanipur: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday (April 11, 2026) alleged that the BJP tried to cancel her candidature from the Bhabanipur seat in south Kolkata by trying to file two fake cases against her, but the bid was blocked by Trinamool Congress workers and the public.

While addressing an election rally at Keshiyari in Paschim Medinipur district, Ms. Banerjee accused the BJP of “forcibly” deleting the names of 90 lakh voters from the voter rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
