SIR Deadline Row: Former CEC O.P. Rawat Calls for Flexibility as BLO Suicides Spark Political Storm

In this Special Report, the panel discusses the controversy surrounding the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, which has been linked to the suicides of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) due to work pressure. Political commentator Rajat Sethi defends the timeline, stating, ‘I don’t think anywhere the institutional responsibility has been ascertained legally.’ Conversely, Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav criticizes the ‘impossible deadlines’ and highlights the human cost, asking, ‘Why do this in these states?’ Former Chief Election Commissioner O.P. Rawat suggests that ‘wherever elections are not due, some more time can be given,’ emphasizing the need to balance electoral duties with teachers’ other responsibilities.
