In West Bengal, the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has demanded the removal of Rohingya Muslims from the voter list, citing concerns over illegal infiltration. Adhikari led a rally from the state assembly to the Central Election Commission and, along with BJP MLAs, submitted a letter urging intervention for an urgent review of the electoral rolls. The BJP accuses Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of providing security to Rohingya Muslims and using the Muslim community for political gains, which they claim has led to unrest in the state. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee defended the presence of migrant workers, stating that 1.5 crore workers from other states work in Bengal and emphasizing that Rohingyas are not from Bangladesh. The Calcutta High Court has directed the state government to clarify its position on student union elections within two weeks following a public interest litigation. The court also granted permission for a BJP youth wing protest march, which was welcomed by Adhikari. The political tension in West Bengal continues amid these developments regarding voter lists and community representation.
