The BJP, through spokesperson Sambit Patra, accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of attempting to separate the state from India by inciting violence to obstruct the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of electoral rolls. Patra compared the current situation to the 1905 Bengal partition, alleging Banerjee aims to protect Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators. He cited ongoing violence in Murshidabad, including train disruptions, and claimed election officials face pressure and threats. The BJP called for unity to maintain India's integrity.
