Make 2024 as base year for poll roll revision: TMC to EC
The New Indian Express Kochi
|July 02, 2025
A five-member delegation of Trinamool Congress (TMC) met the Election Commissioners on Tuesday and demanded that 2024 should be used as the base year for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise ahead of Bihar elections.
The party also conveyed their concern with regard to 'ghost' voters, SIR exercise, surge in voter rolls in Delhi and Haryana, and alleged attempts by central paramilitary forces to influence elections.
The EC's direction on June 24, requiring all existing voters who were not on the rolls in 2003 to provide proof of their and their parents' citizenship, has sparked concerns of disenfranchisement and exclusion of poor and the marginalized from the voter rolls.
TMC Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee said that his party raised apprehensions about SIR which to them seems to be eligibility first and inclusion later.
