Congress accuses the ECI of making arbitrary changes to the process of conducting SIR
Congress members questioned the Election Commission of India (ECI)'s handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in 12 States, accusing it of arbitrary changes and targeted voter deletions. The party highlighted discrepancies in the de-duplication software used for voter identification, with over 32 lakh voters unmapped in West Bengal and more than 1.7 crore entries flagged as illogical in Tamil Nadu. Sasikanth Senthil, a former bureaucrat, criticized the lack of clear instructions and training provided to Booth Level Officers (BLOs), leading to inconsistencies and potential voter suppression among vulnerable communities.
