BJP rejects President’s Rule in West Bengal amid governance debates
Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar has ruled out the possibility of President’s Rule in West Bengal. His comments come after recent political debates over governance in the state. Meanwhile, BJP’s Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari also weighed in, calling such a move politically incorrect.
Majumdar addressed concerns about electoral roll revisions, explaining that 24 lakh names were removed due to verified deaths. He insisted the deletions followed proper data analysis and were not politically motivated. The minister also criticised TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, daring him to write a single page in Bengali without errors.
He further accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of interfering in police matters back in 2011 to protect criminals. Despite calls from some quarters for central intervention, Majumdar stressed that democratic change should come from the people, not from Delhi. He claimed that public sentiment in Bengal now favors removing Banerjee’s government.
Adhikari echoed similar views in an ANI podcast with Smita Prakash. He argued that imposing President’s Rule would be undemocratic and politically unwise. Both leaders agreed that any shift in power must reflect the will of voters, not administrative decisions.
The BJP’s stance remains firm: no central takeover in West Bengal. Instead, they insist the next election will determine the state’s leadership. For now, the debate over governance and electoral integrity continues.
