Amit Shah Praises West Bengal's Support for Electoral Roll Exercise Amid Opposition Criticism

Amit Shah has praised the residents of West Bengal for endorsing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, despite a vigorous campaign against it by the opposition, including Rahul Gandhi and allied parties. Shah emphasized that only Indian citizens should have the voting right.

Speaking in Ahmedabad, Shah highlighted the Supreme Court's support of the SIR's constitutional validity. He mentioned a notable decrease in infiltration into West Bengal following political shifts in the state and lauded the Modi government's efforts in dealing with internal security issues like terrorism and Naxalism.
