Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Urges Women To Use Kitchen Tools To Fight SIR Name Deletion

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been vocally campaigning against the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls. The Chief Minister has now appealed to the women voters to take up their kitchen tools as weapons to fight name deletion from the voters’ list. Addressing a rally in West Bengal's Krishna Nagar, Banerjee said that women will lead this fight against the SIR.

Banerjee said that the BJP and the Election Commission are trying to snatch the rights from mothers and sisters in the name of SIR. She alleged that the Election Commission will bring police from Delhi during the polls and intimidate mothers and sisters.

“Mothers and sisters, if your names are struck off, you have the tools, right? The tools you use during cooking. You have strength, right? You won't let it pass if your names are cut, right? The women will fight in the front, and the men will be behind them," NDTV quoted Banerjee as saying.
