BJP leader Kapil Mishra criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's claims that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is harassing citizens and attempting to disenfranchise voters. Mishra stated that such concerns arise because Banerjee's party allegedly seeks power through the votes of infiltrators, which he likened to "poison and cancer." He asserted that the ECI's Special Intensive Revision drive is necessary and that those opposing nationalism and development are experiencing "stomach aches."
