'SIR is match-fixing, TMC will take to the streets in protest'
The Morning Standard
|August 05, 2025
THE Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is "match fixing", TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev tells Parvez Sultan in an interview.
-
She claims that it is a politically motivated attempt to tamper with voter rolls. She warns that if the process is initiated in West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress will take to the streets in mass protest. Excerpts:
How does the TMC view the SIR exercise in Bihar?
The Election Commission has every right to review a voter's list, removing names of the deceased or those who have relocated. But how they are doing it makes it unconstitutional and an exclusionary exercise. The EC suddenly started it on short notice, without any discussion with any political party. The EC is seeking documents from three time periods: pre-1987, 1987-2004, and post-2004.
