Against what electoral process did West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lead a protest rally on November 4, 2025?
Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rollsOn November 4, 2025, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee led a protest rally from Red Road to Jorasanko in Kolkata against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls initiated by the Election Commission of India. Banerjee and her party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), allege that SIR is a covert method—dubbed 'Silent Invisible Rigging'—to delete genuine voters and insert fake names, particularly targeting TMC supporters. The rally was also a show of strength ahead of upcoming elections, with TMC leaders claiming SIR is a backdoor attempt to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which they had previously opposed. The party has vowed to prevent any deletion of names and has threatened to gherao the ECI office if deletions occur. Political observers note this as part of a broader strategy to rally public opinion against central intervention in state elections.

What issue sparked a public dispute between the PDP and the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir on November 4, 2025?
Transfer of undertrial prisoners from jails outside J&KOn November 4, 2025, a public disagreement erupted between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) over the demand to bring undertrial prisoners from outside the Union Territory back to J&K jails. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti filed a PIL in the J&K High Court urging humanitarian grounds for their transfer, citing the release of high-profile convicts like Asaram as a contrast. In response, JKNC spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq accused Mufti of hypocrisy, pointing out that during her tenure as CM (2017–2018), over 1,000 youth were detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA). The exchange reflects ongoing political tensions between the two mainstream regional parties, each attempting to position themselves as defenders of Kashmiri rights while discrediting the other’s past governance record.
