Abhishek accuses BJP of 'Voter Deletion' plot, invokes legacy of resistance

New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Trinamool Congress (TMC) general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing it of attempting to subvert democracy in Paschim Medinipur by deleting legitimate voters and spreading "fear and intimidation" ahead of the next Assembly elections, while invoking the district's long history of political resistance.
In a strongly worded post on his WhatsApp channel following a mass rally, Banerjee framed Paschim Medinipur as a land that has repeatedly risen against oppression — from the anti-colonial struggle to the political churn of 2011, when the TMC ended 34 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal.
"Defying the iron grip of the British Empire, the soil of undivided Midnapore once roared in resistance against tyranny, exploitation and injustice," Banerjee wrote. "Carrying forward that same legacy, the people of Paschim Medinipur stood at the forefront in 2011 to restore democracy."
