This special report focuses on the Election Commission of India’s announcement of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal, drawing sharp reactions from the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). Speaking with India Today, Bengal Minister Dr. Shashi Panja stated the party’s primary concern. ‘But the party stands by this point that no valid voter will be omitted,’ she said, confirming the TMC’s apprehension. The report delves into the political slugfest, with the TMC accusing the BJP of creating a fear-mongering narrative around the inclusion of ‘illegal immigrants’ to polarise voters. This development follows a similar exercise in Bihar and coincides with the transfer of 64 bureaucrats in the state, a move Dr. Panja defends as routine administrative business unconnected to the EC’s announcement.
