Mamata Banerjee

The TMC supremo, who has been demanding a halt to the voters’ list cleanup exercise in West Bengal, is in Delhi along with SIR-affected families from her state. She reached Delhi on Sunday.

Speaking to the media after walking out of the meeting, the TMC chief said that the delegation decided to boycott the meeting as, according to her, their grievances were not heard.

She also alleged mistreatment of people from Bengal in the national capital Delhi and criticised the conduct of authorities, saying her party would raise these issues firmly and seek answers from the institutions concerned.

The CM has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the ongoing SIR in West Bengal

Addressing the BJP Karyakarta Sammelan in North 24 Parganas, Shah criticised the Mamata government over the deteriorating law and order situation.

The rise of new Muslim-focussed alliances signals a potential disruption within Mamata Banerjee's most reliable vote bank that has powered its dominance for over a decade in West Bengal.

Surprisingly, in another declaration dated June 27, 2025, the I-PAC said it had “repaid” Rs 1 crore of the Rs 13.50 crore loan in 2024-25 and there was an outstanding amount of Rs 12.50 crore.

"Please protect the Constitution, democracy, judiciary, history and geography of the country from disaster,” West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, without elaborating.

Terming it a rare case warranting constitutional intervention, the ED alleged a pattern of obstruction and intimidation during its I-PAC money laundering probe.

In a three-page letter written on Saturday to the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, Banerjee alleged that the SIR of electoral rolls in the state was being conducted with bias and insensitivity.

A caveat, filed before constitutional courts, is meant to ensure that no adverse direction is issued in the absence of the concerned party.

According to the petition, the agency invoked the court’s writ jurisdiction to “instil public confidence” and to immediately stop what it termed as “over-action” by the state police and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Did Mamata Banerjee’s intervention during ED raids amount to a political protest or legal obstruction? A look at what the rules state and where criminal liability could arise.

The ED raids on I-PAC premises and Mamata Banerjee's dramatic intervention have thrown the spotlight on how a political consultancy has quietly become central to the Trinamool Congress' electoral machine.

Reacting to the development, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said an English professor had been penalised for performing her duty, calling it a standard procedure followed in examination halls.

For a leader routinely targeted by the BJP for "minority appeasement", the optics of Mamata Banerjee's recent actions are unmistakable, and appear carefully calculated.

You (Banerjee) are not just threatening Amit Shah; you are threatening India, says Patra, adding that this is not the first time that such an incident has happened in West Bengal.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, "When I visit a Gurdwara, I cover my head with a scarf. If I go (to an event) during Ramadan, why should I not (do the same)? Today, I am here, so I have covered myself with a scarf."

While the BJP has stripped the Congress of one of its most enduring UPA-era legacies, Mamata has stepped in to claim the Gandhian symbolism that once belonged almost exclusively to the grand old party.

Bhabanipur, a dense urban constituency, has a sizeable population of residents originally from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha.
