KOLKATA: Bengal CM and Trinamool chief, Mamata Banerjee, alleged on Saturday attempts to cancel her Bhowanipore nomination through “false affidavits”. She filed a nomination on April 8, and it was accepted April 10 after scrutiny.Bhowanipore now has 13 candidates, among the highest in Bengal, including eight Independents outnumbering those from registered parties. Two complaints against her, traced to an Independent candidate from Nadia, were rejected, according to sources.”Our fight is not with BJP, but with the party’s vanishing machine. In my own constituency, those traitors filed two false affidavits against me to cancel my nomination. They did not succeed, but remember, they tried… They made many efforts to stop me from contesting. So, you can understand: if they can do this to me, what can they do to you?” Banerjee said.One objection flagged a “name mismatch” involving proposer Ismat Hakim, spouse of Kolkata mayor Firhad Hakim. She had earlier used the premarital surname Ismat Ara but updated documents to Ismat Hakim. Documentation submitted during scrutiny resolved the issue.”Usually, these matters take a couple of minutes. But we had an inkling of this when all the proposers were made to wait for two hours after the CM filed her nomination,” a TMC member overseeing Bhowanipore polls said.Another objection alleged undisclosed criminal cases from two decades ago when Banerjee was in opposition. “This could not be proven, nor was any evidence produced,” the party functionary said, adding she had marked that column “not applicable”.A third flashpoint involved ballot logistics. The initial field of 17 candidates risked pushing Banerjee’s name onto a second EVM, as one unit can display 16 names. TMC objected. “A sitting CM cannot be pushed to a second EVM. It would have caused confusion,” the functionary said. Four nominations were later cancelled, removing the need for multiple machines.About the AuthorTamaghna BanerjeeTamaghna Banerjee, a reporter from Kolkata, covers crime, aviation, human rights and politics.

PM Modi KOLKATA: PM Narendra Modi sharpened BJP’s Bengal campaign on Saturday, dismissing Trinamool Congress’ “khela hobe” slogan and framing the assembly polls as a battle to protect Bengal’s identity, while promising to implement Uniform Civil Code (UCC) to end what he called “politics of appeasement”. “Bahut khel khel liya hai tumne,” Modi said, adding those who had “played far too long” would now face accountability. “Sabka hisab liya jayega (everyone will be held accountable).” At Katwa, impressed by the crowd size, he said it was a sign of a “big khela” coming to Bengal. Addressing back-to-back rallies across Burdwan, Murshidabad and South Dinajpur, Modi accused TMC of relying on “infiltrators” to build a vote bank and intimidate majority groups. “Let UCC be implemented here; appeasement will stop once and for all. Bengal will make real change this time,” he said, echoing a manifesto promise unveiled by Union minister Amit Shah to enact the law within six months of taking office. Modi described governance in Bengal as dominated by a “syndicate raj”. “Here syndicate is govt and govt is syndicate,” he said, linking corruption to an exodus of companies, loss of jobs and migration of youth. At Jangipur in Muslim-majority Murshidabad, Modi focused on identity and demographic change. “TMC wants to use infiltrators’ votes to form a govt of infiltrators. We will not let Bengalis become a minority in Bengal,” he said, also citing repeated attacks on Ram Navami processions and alleging perpetrators roam free. Responding to criticism from CM Mamata Banerjee that BJP will not deliver on its promises, Modi defended his party’s record. “BJP keeps its promises,” he said, citing support prices for jute and assuring that welfare schemes would continue. “BJP will not stop anything other than Trinamool’s loot.” He pledged that the first cabinet meeting of a BJP govt would clear the rollout of Ayushman Bharat in Bengal. Seeking to reassure Matua and Namashudra communities affected by SIR, Modi said they were protected by the Constitution and promised to speed up citizenship processes after taking office. He also praised EC for violence-free polling in Assam and Kerala, citing Thursday’s high turnout. Modi warned voters against “AI-generated disinformation”, alleging Trinamool could deploy fabricated videos as polling nears. “There is a conspiracy, and you need to be careful. Trinamool is panicking and will use conspiracies as the election draws closer. We have seen this in Assam and Puducherry – rumours based on AI-generated videos will be spread. Do not fall into that trap,” he said.About the AuthorRohit KhannaRohit Khanna covers sectors like government finance, economy, industry and issues related to financial crime.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos”Don’t Assume It’s Over” Rajnath Cautions On West Asia ConflictJag Vikram Leads Way, First Indian Ship Through Hormuz Post CeasefireSupreme Court Clarifies: Right To Vote And Contest Elections Not Fundamental Rights, But StatutoryCDS General Anil Chauhan Says All Services On The Same Page On Theatre CommandTharoor Attacks Pak, Says Terror History Can’t Be Wiped Out Before TalksMaha Vir Chakra Awardee Col Sonam Wangchuk Passes Away; Kargil War Hero Remembered For BraveryIndia Sends Second Medical Shipment To Iran, Wins Praise Amid Ongoing Regional Conflict CrisisVikram Misri’s Paris–Berlin Visit: India Pushes Defence, Energy & Trade Ties Amid Global TensionsUP’s Massive Voter List Reset: 8.43 Million Added, 13.2% Deleted in Longest-Ever RevisionNitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha Oath Triggers Bihar Leadership Buzz: Who Will Be the Next CM?123PhotostoriesFrom calling ‘Sweetu’ in Kal Ho Naa Ho more than just a ‘fat friend’ to speaking about her divorce with ex-husband Rajeev Paul and alimony, Delnaaz Irani opens up about her lifeWhy homemade paneer turns hard and 5 smart tips to fix it at home5 signs someone is draining your energy- And how to deal with themBollywood who?
