Kolkata, Oct. 9 -- West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in a press conference, alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is using these mechanisms to manipulate voter lists and target citizens.

Banerjee claimed that the BJP is using SIR as a pretext to implement NRC and remove names from the voter list.

"In the name of SIR, they are trying to place NRC, want to remove names from the voter list, I assure you no genuine voter will be unlisted," Mamata said.

She warned the BJP against escalating tensions through their policies, accusing them of provocative actions, saying, "I warned the BJP, don't play with fire."
