West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate electoral rolls for the 2026 Assembly elections through a rushed Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. She claims this exercise, allegedly using AI, aims to disenfranchise voters, particularly marginalized communities, and warned of protests if legitimate names are removed. Banerjee stated the SIR is being conducted hastily, unlike the usual two-year process, and alleged pressure on election officials.
