Mamata Banerjee Challenges SIR in Supreme Court Ahead of 2026 Bengal Polls | In Your Interest

Описание: In a historic and unprecedented move, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee appeared in person before the Supreme Court to challenge the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, affecting over 58 lakh voters. Mamata claims Bengal is being unfairly targeted while other states face no similar scrutiny and calls the SIR a “WhatsApp Commission” and a de-facto NRC. She has demanded the court scrap the exercise, restore the 2025 rolls, and accept documents like Aadhaar for verification. The Election Commission, however, maintains the process is routine, transparent, and rule-based. This court battle positions Mamata as a defender of voter rights, especially of women, minorities, and the poor, potentially influencing the narrative ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The Supreme Court has directed safeguards to prevent disenfranchisement and listed the matter for further hearing next week.
