Bengal SIR News | BJP Counters CM Mamata's SIR Claims, Approaches Election Commission
The political battle over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise has intensified in poll-bound West Bengal. A day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote her third letter to the Election Commission of India alleging serious irregularities, Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari moved the poll body, dismissing her claims as “desperate lies.” The BJP has accused the Trinamool Congress of attempting to derail the electoral process, while the TMC has alleged that due procedure is not being followed under SIR. The war of words signals rising political tensions in the state as elections draw closer, with both sides accusing each other of manipulating the voter revision exercise.
