BJP Demands ‘Special Intensive Revision’ of Electoral Rolls Amidst TMC Opposition in Bengal

The political temperature in West Bengal is soaring as the Bharatiya Janata Party’s state unit on Sunday reiterated its demand for a ‘Special Intensive Revision’ (SIR) of electoral rolls, drawing parallels with an exercise conducted in neighboring Bihar. This assertive stance, aimed at removing alleged deceased and non-resident voters, faces strong opposition from the Trinamool Congress, which vows to fight the proposal tooth and nail. The Chief Election Commissioner’s recent remarks suggest a decision on SIR in West Bengal is pending. [8]
