TMC Escalates Legal Battle Against Special Intensive Revision
The Trinamool Congress has approached the Supreme Court of India challenging the Special Intensive Revision exercise, marking a significant escalation in the political confrontation between West Bengal's ruling party and opposition forces.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a sharp critique of the process, labeling it as 'votebandi' - a term that directly translates to 'vote blocking' and reflects her party's position that the exercise aims to disenfranchise certain voter segments.
Countering BJP's Allegations on Illegal Migration
In a strategic political move, Mamata Banerjee turned the tables on the Opposition BJP, which has consistently accused her party and the West Bengal government of facilitating illegal migration from Bangladesh.
The Chief Minister's response represents a significant counter-offensive in the ongoing political discourse surrounding migration and voter registration in the state. The development occurred on November 10, 2025, as reported by journalist Anirban Bhaumik at 12:50 IST.
Political Implications and Constitutional Standoff
The legal challenge filed by TMC in the Supreme Court sets the stage for a constitutional confrontation that could have far-reaching implications for West Bengal's political landscape.
This move demonstrates the party's determination to use all available legal avenues to challenge what it perceives as unfair electoral practices. The timing of this legal action, coupled with the strong political rhetoric from the Chief Minister, indicates the high stakes involved in the ongoing voter registration process.
The political drama unfolds against the backdrop of persistent allegations from the BJP regarding illegal migration, making this not just a legal battle but a significant political confrontation that could influence voter sentiment in the state.
