'To divide West Bengal': Mamata claims Centre trying to 'trifurcate' state through delimitation

NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday accused the Centre of carrying out delimitation exercise to trifurcate the state.While addressing poll rallies in Chhatna and Onda in West Bengal’s Bankura district, Mamata said that parts of West Bengal could be merged with Bihar and Odisha, and it would result in hardships in Bengalu living in those areas.

“The BJP is planning to bring in a delimitation bill to divide West Bengal into three parts. It may merge parts of West Bengal with Bihar or Odisha, and torture Bengalis there,” Mamata said.Mamata also alleged that the BJP has struck a Rs 1,000-crore deal to unseat the Trinamool Congress from power in the state.She made the apparent reference to a viral video of Aam Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir, who was purportedly heard saying that he was in close touch with BJP leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, to unseat Mamata from power and that he received Rs 200 crore as an advance payment of a Rs 1,000-crore deal to split minority votes to defeat the TMC.“They (BJP) have struck a Rs 1,000-crore deal to unseat the TMC from power in West Bengal,” the party supremo said.She also alleged that central forces deployed in the state for the upcoming polls were “disrespecting” women in the name of conducting searches.The CM also claimed that she was denied permission to hold a rally despite the venue being available, while quick clearance was given for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting.She also accused the BJP of bribing voters before elections, and called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls the “country’s biggest scam” in recent times.“The SIR is the biggest scam the country has seen in recent times. Everyone in the world knows that your government will topple in 2026. We will then scrap all the anti-people laws brought in by your government,” she added.“The BJP bribes voters before the elections. But they forget their promises soon after the polling is over. That was seen in the Bihar elections,” Mamata said.The TMC chief further alleged that the BJP would try to manipulate the polling process to win the election and urged the people to remain alert and keep a tab on the voting machines.“Be alert about the voting machines. The BJP has planned slow voting and slow counting. Foil all their plans,” Banerjee said.She also alleged that the BJP was planning to offer “spiked tea and sweets” to people to “loot votes”.“They are planning to offer you spiked tea and sweets, consuming which you would fall asleep and they would loot your votes… Remain cautious,” she said.She also questioned the BJP’s poll promise of filling up vacancies in government departments, asking, “What happened to his (Modi) promise of providing 2 crore jobs to youths?”
