West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday (November 4, 2025) hit the streets of Kolkata, leading a protest rally against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Ms. Banerjee’s party, the ruling Trinamool Congress, has dubbed the exercise “silent invisible rigging” by the BJP-led Centre and the Election Commission.

Accompanied by her nephew and TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the CM began the 3.8-km rally from the statue of B.R. Ambedkar on Red Road.
