The ongoing controversy over ‘Form 6’ and alleged voter list manipulation in West Bengal has taken a national turn with Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav extending his full support to Mamata Banerjee. In a strongly worded social media post on the afternoon of April 1, Yadav backed the Trinamool Congress\u2019s (TMC) claims of electoral malpractice by the BJP. He confidently asserted, “Didi is there, and Didi will remain! The BJP is set to disappear from Bengal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yadav’s intervention comes amid TMC\u2019s explosive allegations that the BJP has been trying to influence the electoral rolls using thousands of fraudulent applications. By siding with Banerjee, the SP leader has signaled a united opposition front against the saffron party ahead of the crucial polls. Political analysts suggest that this endorsement from a key national ally strengthens Mamata\u2019s narrative of ‘outsider interference’ and administrative overreach. As Kolkata continues to witness protests over the voter enrollment issue, Akhilesh’s “Didi” chant from Lucknow has added significant weight to the TMC\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
