West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday (October 17, 2025) clarified her usage of the term ‘bohiragoto’ (outsider) and said that she was referring to a particular political party and not outsiders.
“They have taken one of my statements and deliberately twisted it to give it a different meaning. When I used the term ‘Bohiragoto’, I was clearly referring to a particular political party, a party that brings in people from outside the State. They add the names of ten outsiders alongside the names of our genuine voters, so that our own people are prevented from voting,” the Chief Minister said.
