Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee laid the foundation stone of Muridganga River Bridge in Parganas of West Bengal on Monday (January 5, 2026). During this, while addressing the gathering, he targeted BJP. He said that BJP does not believe in any religion. Spreads lies. During SIR, seriously ill people were made to stand in line to prove their voter identity.
Will go to court against SIR on Tuesday
CM Banerjee said, ‘We will approach the court on Tuesday against the SIR. We want to correct the voter list, but it should be done properly. In a year or two. Why so early? During this haste, 81 people died in about two months. The rest tried to commit suicide. He is admitted in the hospital.
‘BJP version in Bengal…’
He said, ‘Stories are being told about Bengal. We say that BJP’s version of Bengal’s story is being told, we do not need to say anything. Just look at Gangasagar and what the government has done, and what have you done? Nothing?’
‘Gangasagar bridge being built at a cost of Rs 1700 crore’
Mamta Banerjee also raised the issue of Gangasagar bridge. During this, he asked the central government, ‘What did the government do about this? He said, ‘Gangasagar bridge is being built at a cost of Rs 1700 crore. This ultra-modern four-lane bridge is being built. A four kilometer long bridge is being built on the Muriganga river. We don’t just talk, we show through our actions.
Questions regarding fishermen from the Center also
He said, ‘How will you speak for those fishermen who get bitten by tigers while fishing, bitten by crocodiles, who sometimes cross the border, get arrested, and stay in jail, and we bring them back. You people (BJP) only remove names from the voter list and do nothing else.
