🚨 Mamata Banerjee Leads Kolkata March Against SIR, BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Label It ‘Rally Of Jamat’

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee leads massive protest rally in Kolkata against SIR Bill.
Kolkata, India: In a striking display of political defiance, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee led a massive protest march through central Kolkata against the Centre’s proposed Special Investigation Region (SIR) Bill. The rally, attended by thousands, was framed as a defence of India’s federal values and state autonomy.
What Sparked the Protest
The SIR Bill aims to create centralised administrative zones for “strategic infrastructure projects.” Critics, including Mamata Banerjee, argue that it encroaches on state powers. “We will not allow Delhi to dictate Bengal’s destiny,” Mamata declared from the rally’s main stage on Red Road.
‘Rally of Jamat’, Says BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari fiercely criticised the rally, labelling it a “Rally of Jamat” — alleging that it reflected appeasement politics. “This is nothing but political drama to divert from TMC’s failures,” he stated, sparking another round of verbal sparring between the two parties.
Massive Turnout and Tight Security
The rally saw thousands of TMC workers waving flags, singing, and marching alongside their leader. Kolkata Police deployed over 5,000 officers, installed drones, and sealed key roads to ensure order. Despite traffic disruptions, the protest remained peaceful.
TMC’s Message: Defending Federalism
The TMC framed the rally as a call to protect India’s federal framework. Senior leader Derek O’Brien said, “This is about upholding the Constitution — not one state, but every state’s right to self-govern.”
Public Sentiment
Many citizens expressed support for Mamata’s stand. “We’re here to protect our voice,” said Priyanka Das, a young protester. Others criticised the move as politically motivated, pointing to upcoming national elections.
Centre’s Defence of the Bill
The Ministry of Home Affairs defended the Bill, saying it would “accelerate development and strengthen coordination” between state and central agencies. Officials denied any intent to erode state authority.
Political Analysts Speak
Experts believe Mamata’s strategy aims to reinforce her image as the defender of regional rights, potentially positioning her as a key opposition voice ahead of the 2026 general elections. “She’s once again asserting herself as the anti-centralisation icon,” said political analyst Dr. Anirban Basu.

Conclusion
As political temperatures rise, Mamata Banerjee’s rally sends a strong message: Bengal will resist what she sees as central overreach. The BJP, on the other hand, remains confident that her protests will not distract from governance issues.
Whether this rally sparks a larger nationwide movement remains to be seen, but it has certainly reignited the political debate over India’s federal structure and the balance of power between Centre and State.
