Reacting to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reaching the Supreme Court to argue her own case in connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in the state, people took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning.

Several people called it a "good move" and "historic".

One user said, "Indeed incredible - And I’ve been of the opinion and candid in saying that @AITCofficial have been playing the role of #Opposition very effectively - Looking forward to seeing her in the Court with her logics and rejoinders."



Another user wrote, "JUSTICE ALWAYS PREVAILS - THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE AND GOD IS WITH YOU MADAM MAMTA BANERJEE."



"History will be made today. A Chief Minister abandoning governance to personally argue in court... to protect dead and duplicate voters from being removed from electoral rolls," one user said.

"Bring it on didi," said yet another X user.

One user said, "History in motion. When Didi speaks, she speaks for every Bengali whose voice was silenced. The fight for justice begins today — for truth, for democracy, for Bengal. #MamataBanerjee #FightForBengal."

An X user said, "This is Historic… Mamata didi khud vakeel bankar will be there in Supreme Court… first sitting CM to do so."

One user lauded the Chief Minister for "handling BJP like she does" and wrote, "Tamed ED in Kolkata. Cooked Gyanesh by marching to the EC with hundreds declared dead on paper. Now CM Mamata Banerjee is likely to appear before the Supreme Court as a lawyer fighting for the victims of SIR. UNPRECEDENTED. No opposition handles the BJP like she does."

A lawyer took to the social media platform to say, "History will be made today. More Power to you Chief Minister @MamataOfficial who is appearing as a petitioner before the Supreme Court of India."


One user said, "Historical day: For the first time in the history. A sitting Chief Minister will argue a case in the courtroom. @MamataOfficial will fight against the SIR and ECI in the #SupremeCourt today. Joy Bangla."

"When the going gets TOUGH the tough gets GOING. Coming to the supreme court #Didi takes on SIR & ECI in the Supreme Court as a lawyer. Like her or not you got to admire CM @MamataOfficial for her hands-on approach. She's a nightmare for the BJP," one X user said.
