Political tensions are escalating over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls as the Trinamool Congress approaches the Supreme Court against the Election Commission. The TMC alleges voters are being centrally deleted without the knowledge of Electoral Registration Officers, using undisclosed algorithms and software. The party claims instructions were issued informally, including via WhatsApp, and seeks an extension of the January 15 deadline for claims and objections. It has also demanded assistance for voters during hearings and special provisions for migrants and senior citizens. The controversy has intensified in West Bengal ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, with the BJP rejecting all allegations.
