CM Mamata Banerjee NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he should resign first if voter lists contained names of infiltrators.Speaking at a rally in Dakshin Dinajpur, she said: “If voter list contained names of infiltrators, Modi also won with their votes earlier, so he should resign first.”She questioned the allegations around electoral rolls and asked why the same voter lists used in the 2024 general elections are now being challenged ahead of the assembly polls.The chief minister also addressed the recent incident in Malda district, where judicial officers were gheraoed for several hours. She blamed the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Indian Secular Front (ISF) for the incident, while accusing the Congress and the BJP of instigation.Providing details, Banerjee said the main accused in the case had been arrested.”The BJP loaned him (the accused) from the AIMIM and brought him here,” she alleged while addressing the rally at Harirampur.She further added: “ISF is with them; Congress and BJP have also provided instigation.”Banerjee said the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested the main accused, advocate Mofakkarul Islam from Bagdogra airport while he was trying to flee.”It is they who engineered the violence in Malda’s Mothabari,” she said.Banerjee also raised concerns over the conduct of the elections, alleging that officials were transferred to facilitate the movement of outsiders into the state.She further claimed irregularities involving security forces.”Money is being brought in using CRPF vehicles. I have a record of these movements and will expose them at the appropriate time,” she alleged.The Trinamool Congress chief also targeted home minister Amit Shah, who has announced plans to stay in West Bengal during the election period.Banerjee claimed that his presence would not benefit the BJP electorally.
