Mamata said, “BJP is planning to bring a delimitation bill to divide West Bengal into three parts. It can merge some parts of West Bengal with Bihar or Odisha and commit atrocities on Bengalis there.”Mamata also alleged that the BJP has made a deal worth Rs 1,000 crore to remove the Trinamool Congress from power in the state.He made an apparent reference to a viral video of Aam Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir, in whom he was reportedly heard saying that he was in close touch with BJP leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, to remove Mamata from power and that he had received Rs 200 crore as advance payment for a Rs 1,000 crore deal to split minority votes to defeat TMC.“They (BJP) have made a deal worth Rs 1,000 crore to remove TMC from power in West Bengal,” the party supremo said.He also alleged that the central forces deployed in the state for the upcoming elections were “insulting” women in the name of searches.The CM also claimed that he was not allowed to hold the rally despite space being available, while immediate approval was given for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s gathering.He also accused the BJP of bribing voters before the elections and called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists the “biggest scam in the country” in recent times.He said, “SIR is the biggest scam the country has seen in recent times. Everyone in the world knows that your government will fall in 2026. We will then repeal all the anti-people laws brought by your government.”He said, “BJP bribes voters before elections. But soon after the voting is over, they forget their promises. This was seen in the Bihar elections,” Mamata said.The TMC chief further alleged that the BJP would try to manipulate the voting process to win the elections and urged people to remain alert and keep an eye on the voting machines.Banerjee said, “Be cautious about voting machines. BJP has planned slow voting and slow counting. Foil all their plans.”He also alleged that the BJP was planning to give “spicy tea and sweets” to people to “loot votes”.“They are planning to give you intoxicating tea and sweets, after eating which you will fall asleep and they will loot your votes… be careful,” he said.He also questioned the BJP’s election promise of filling vacant posts in government departments and asked, “What happened to his (Modi’s) promise of giving 2 crore jobs to the youth?”
