Mamata Banerjee Moves SC Against 'Flawed' Electoral Roll Revision in West Bengal

• West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state.
• The petition, filed on January 28, names the Election Commission of India and the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal as parties.
• Banerjee previously wrote to CEC Gyanesh Kumar, urging a halt to the SIR, calling it "arbitrary and flawed."
• She warned that the current SIR process could lead to "mass disenfranchisement" and undermine democracy.
• Banerjee accused the EC of overseeing an "unplanned, ill-prepared and ad hoc" process with "serious irregularities."
