Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision in West Bengal Sparks Political Debate

The Election Commission of India is conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal, issuing notices to voters over discrepancies such as document variations and mismatched parental names. This process has affected thousands, including 370 voters from Kanksha and Rajya Sabha MP Samirul Islam, who has been asked to prove his voter status. The ruling TMC alleges political vendetta and harassment, while BJP leaders assert the removal targets only invalid entries. The EC has deleted over 58 lakh names and continues hearings amid political tensions.
