During a rally in Suri, West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its electoral promises, particularly the ₹3,000 monthly aid to women under the proposed Annapurna Bhandar scheme, which she claims is a deceptive tactic. Banerjee asserted that her party, the Trinamool Congress, never makes false promises, citing her own Lakshmir Bhandar scheme that began with ₹500 assistance. She warned voters against accepting money from the BJP, alleging it could lead to legal complications involving agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Banerjee also questioned the BJP's record on job creation, claiming that they have failed to deliver on promises of two crore jobs. Additionally, she accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate voter lists and engage in divisive politics. Banerjee claimed that 60 lakh names had been removed from voter rolls, but her efforts had reinstated 32 lakh of them, pledging to continue advocating for those still affected.
