NEW DELHI: BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Monday launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, claiming that the party is "afraid" of the deletion of fake voters and has entered "panic mode" regarding the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of the electoral roll.
This came as the Election Commission of India (ECI) prepares to conduct SIR in West Bengal ahead of next year's Assembly elections.
The ruling Trinamool Congress is against the very idea of conducting the exercise and has been constantly claiming that SIR is an indirect ploy of the Union government and the BJP to slap NRC in West Bengal.
