The Election Commission of India (ECI) has suspended seven state officials in West Bengal following allegations of malpractices and the misuse of statutory powers during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The suspended officials, identified as Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) from Farakka, Samserganj, and Debra, have been removed from their duties on disciplinary grounds. Reporter Tapas Sengupta noted that the ECI has recommended immediate state government action against these individuals, marking a fresh escalation in the ongoing ‘Mamata versus Election Commission’ showdown. While the state government has yet to issue an official response, the directive follows a history of complaints regarding election officials in the state. The ECI sources cited ‘discrepancies’ and ‘misusing the statutory power’ as primary reasons for the suspension. This development comes amid a broader political conflict over the integrity of the electoral roll revision process in West Bengal.
