Mamata Banarjee Protest: Why did Mamata Banerjee end the 5-day long strike, were all the demands accepted?

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ended her protest in Kolkata. However, Mamta has promised the voters that she will continue to fight for their rights. Mamta was sitting on strike for 5 days against the names deleted from the voter list. She had said that she would also present those people who have been declared dead by the Election Commission.

Mamata Banerjee said, if the Election Commission announces the election dates on March 15-16, then the game will not end there. The fight will continue in the Supreme Court. He further said that our protest was for two reasons. One was for those whose names were wrongly removed from the voter list and the other was to provide justice to those whose names were in the adjudication and ensure that they get their voter rights back.

The strike started on March 6

Mamta Banerjee started the protest on 6 March. After this, other party leaders also joined the protest, including MPs and ministers. TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee had appealed to Mamata to end the protest. Mamta agreed to her nephew's demand and ended the protest.

Abhishek Banerjee said that the Supreme Court has accepted our demands, so I am appealing to Didi on behalf of everyone that you have been on the road for the last five days… now end this protest. Abhishek Banerjee said that the fight is not ending here. We will end this only when every citizen gets the right to vote. He said that TMC workers are still there and they will continue the street fight from here and defeat BJP at all 80,000 booths.

Why did Mamta end the strike?

While ending the protest, CM Mamata Banerjee mentioned the incidents that happened in the Supreme Court. In fact, the court on Tuesday suggested forming a tribunal. The Supreme Court said that the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court can form a bench of former Chief Justice and High Court judges to deal with the appeal and asked the EC to form an appeal body to hear it.

Describing the Supreme Court order on Bengal SIR as a victory for the people, Mamata said that it has opened the closed door for people deprived of the right to vote. CM said, the court has opened a closed door. use it. Even after the dates of assembly elections are announced, the matter will remain pending in the court. My petition is still there. Don't think that if the election dates are announced then you have no chance. He has said that if your name is not in the list then come to us one day before the elections. Mamata Banerjee said that the case will be heard in the SC on March 25 and appealed to those whose names have been struck off not to lose courage.
