Mamata Slams EC Over 'Undemocratic Rampage' in Voter List Revision
- •West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee sent a strong letter to the Election Commission, alleging an "undemocratic rampage" during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list.
- •Banerjee claims the SIR process is unplanned, whimsical, unconstitutional, lacking proper preparation, uniform rules, and training, with directives constantly changing via unofficial channels like WhatsApp.
- •She alleged genuine voters face exclusion, names are deleted from the backend without ERO approval, and valid identity proofs are suddenly disregarded.
- •Voters, including elderly and sick, are harassed with hearings 20-25 km away, without proper notice or receipt for submitted documents.
- •The CM demanded an immediate halt to the "unplanned and arbitrary" SIR, rectification of errors, warning of severe consequences for democracy.
