Suvendu Adhikari Rejects Mamata's 'Baseless' SIR Claims to CEC

• West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari wrote to CEC Gyanesh Kumar, rejecting CM Mamata Banerjee's allegations regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
• Adhikari described Banerjee's claims as "baseless" and an attempt to obstruct a process exposing irregularities like bogus entries, duplicates, and infiltrators in voter lists.
• He alleged that the SIR exercise was damaging the ruling TMC's electoral prospects, leading to Banerjee's "hysteria."
• Adhikari claimed the revision was bringing to light "fake voters, deceased voters and illegal infiltrators," calling it a "death knell" for TMC's 2026 ambitions.
• The controversy follows Banerjee's earlier letter to the CEC, alleging misuse of IT systems by Election Commission officials to delete voter names without authorization and criticizing the lack of clarity and informal instructions for SIR.
