A 15-member Trinamool Congress delegation led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and party national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee will meet Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar today to raise objections over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal. The TMC has alleged that the SIR process in the state is biased, arbitrary, discriminatory, and politically motivated. The party said the delegation will formally place its concerns before the Election Commission and demand immediate corrective steps, noting that earlier representations have received no response.

Mamata Banerjee wrote to the Chief Election Commissioner, accusing the ongoing SIR of causing widespread public hardship and undermining trust in democratic institutions. She claimed the exercise has led to severe inconvenience for citizens, alleged links to around 140 deaths, and violations of the Representation of the People Act and related rules.

The Election Commission is currently conducting a nationwide SIR across 12 states and union territories, including West Bengal. The process began with training and printing in late October, followed by enumeration in November, publication of draft rolls in December, a claims and objections period through early January, hearings until the end of January, and final electoral rolls scheduled to be published on February 7.
