Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee alleged on Sunday that the Bharatiya Janata Party was threatening All India Trinamool Congress candidates, including state ministers, to secure its support if they fell short of the majority after the assembly elections.He also claimed that the Center is planning a delimitation exercise to trifurcate West Bengal, with parts of the state likely to be merged into Bihar or Odisha, which he said will create difficulties for Bengali residents.Addressing election rallies at Asansol in West Bardhaman, Chhatna and Onda in Bankura district and Khandagosh in East Bardhaman, Banerjee said, “The BJP is threatening TMC candidates, including state ministers, seeking their support if they fall short of the majority mark after the assembly elections.”“The BJP is planning to bring a delimitation bill to divide West Bengal into three parts. It may merge parts of West Bengal with Bihar or Odisha and commit atrocities on Bengalis there,” he was quoted as saying by PTI.Banerjee alleged that the BJP had made a deal worth Rs 1,000 crore to remove the All India Trinamool Congress from power in the state.His comments come in the context of a viral video of Humayun Kabir in which he was allegedly heard claiming links with BJP leaders including Suvendu Adhikari and alleging receipt of Rs 200 crore as advance from a Rs 1,000 crore scheme to split minority votes and defeat TMC.TMC has demanded an investigation into the matter, while BJP and Aam Janata Unnayan Party have rejected the video as AI-generated.“They (BJP) have made a deal worth Rs 1,000 crore to remove TMC from power in West Bengal,” he said. He also accused the BJP of bribing voters before the elections and described the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists as 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 dismantle all the anti-people laws brought by your government.” “BJP bribes voters before elections. But they forget their promises soon after polling is over. This is what was seen in Bihar elections.”Banerjee further alleged that the BJP would attempt to influence the voting process and urged voters to remain alert and monitor 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”.
