Mamata to scale up anti-SIR campaign with rallies in Malda, Murshidabad, Cooch Behar

KOLKATA: (Dec 1) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will intensify her offensive against the EC's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls with rallies in Malda and Murshidabad this week, followed by a major mobilisation in Cooch Behar next week, TMC sources said.

This marks Banerjee's second phase of anti-SIR mobilisation after her Bongaon rally last week in the refugee-dominated Matua belt, where she alleged the revision drive was being misused to intimidate borderland families.

The TMC is positioning her district-wise campaign as a counter to the BJP's "infiltrator-cleansing" narrative.
