The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
|September 13, 2025
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rejected the West Bengal government's request to include Swastha Sathi and ration (PDS) cards as documents to prove eligibility to be included in the voters' list during the course of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state's electoral rolls, sources said on Friday.
After Bihar, the focus has now shifted to West Bengal, as the poll panel is gearing up to launch the SIR in the state ahead of the scheduled assembly elections in 2026.
It is to be noted here that Swastha Sathi card is given by the West Bengal government for its health insurance scheme, where the cost of the premium is borne by the state government.
