Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly misusing the term 'logical discrepancy' during the SIR exercise, claiming it is not recognized by the Election Commission. Speaking at a rally in Pingla, located in Paschim Medinipur district, she accused the BJP of applying this term selectively to manipulate the electoral process in West Bengal, contrasting it with its treatment in Bihar.
