This report covers the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal, involving a face-off between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The issue centres on allegations that contractual staff were being used as Booth Level Officers (BLOs) for the exercise, prompting the Election Commission of India (ECI) to intervene. The BJP had repeatedly flagged concerns about potential manipulation by the TMC through the use of non-permanent staff. Following these reports and objections, the Election Commission of India clarified its stance, stating that ‘no contractual staff shall be allowed for SIR’. The bulletin explores the ongoing political friction over the transparency of the electoral process in the state, with the ECI now having issued firm guidelines to ensure compliance.
