West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is being used for voter exclusion rather than correction. She described the process as mechanical, lacking human touch, and driven by technical data. Banerjee claimed minor discrepancies are leading to harassment, loss of wages, and particularly highlighted issues faced by women changing surnames after marriage. She accused the Election Commission of political bias and high-handedness, suggesting the exercise's aim is deletion and exclusion, not inclusion.
