  KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • TMC alleges threats of NRC and delimitation without debate
  • BJP manifesto promises UCC and governance reforms

Kolkata: The Mamata Banerjee UCC opposition has intensified political tensions ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, with the Chief Minister strongly criticizing the BJP’s election manifesto and key policy proposals. Addressing a public gathering, Banerjee made it clear that her party would oppose the Uniform Civil Code and repeal it if the BJP loses power in the future.

Her remarks signal a deepening ideological divide between the two parties as election campaigning gathers momentum.

Mamata Banerjee UCC Opposition Targets BJP Sankalp Patra

Banerjee directly attacked the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’, calling out its proposal to implement the Uniform Civil Code. She argued that while the BJP may push the law through Parliament due to its current majority, such decisions could be reversed if political power shifts.

She also questioned the fairness of elections under BJP rule, claiming that democratic processes are being compromised.

These statements underline TMC’s strategy to frame the election as a fight to protect constitutional and regional rights.

NRC and Delimitation Concerns Raise Political Stakes

The Chief Minister accused the BJP of planning to introduce delimitation changes without proper debate, suggesting it could alter political representation in the state.

She further alleged that such moves are linked to a broader agenda to implement the National Register of Citizens and divide Bengal.

These claims are likely to resonate with sections of voters concerned about identity, citizenship, and regional integrity.

Electoral Roll Row and Allegations of Irregularities

Banerjee also raised concerns over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, calling it a “scam” aimed at benefiting the BJP.

She alleged that millions of voter names have been removed, questioning the transparency of the process. The Chief Minister also referred to past attempts to challenge her candidature, suggesting systemic targeting.

BJP Manifesto Promises UCC and Governance Reforms

On the other side, Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently unveiled the BJP’s manifesto for the 2026 elections, outlining 15 key promises.

The proposals include implementing the Uniform Civil Code and introducing stricter laws against cattle smuggling. The BJP has positioned these measures as essential for governance reform and development.

What This Means for West Bengal Elections

The clash over UCC, NRC, and electoral processes highlights the sharp political polarization in West Bengal.
