West Bengal CM Warns of 'Bedbugs' Amid CJP Protests Over Electoral Roll Revisions
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari warned of 'bedbugs' emerging again, urging vigilance against anti-national activities amid protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The CJP demands Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and plans a peaceful protest if unmet. Adhikari defended the Election Commission, blaming former CM Mamata Banerjee for the deletion of 27 lakh names in West Bengal, denying BJP or EC responsibility for exclusions.
