Mamta Banerjee To Challenge SIR Initiative in West Bengal?

Mamata Banerjee is poised to contest the recent initiatives introduced by the Election Commission of India in West Bengal. With state assembly elections just around the corner, scheduled for next year, the political landscape is already brimming with activity and strategic positioning source says. The Chief Minister of West Bengal has issued a stern warning to the state's government employees, who are expected to play a role during the SIR program. She emphasised that no single vote should be compromised or influenced, deleted during the electoral process, highlighting the importance of transparency and integrity in the upcoming electoral exercise. The stakes are high, and the political manoeuvring suggests a heated battle ahead as various factions prepare for the electoral showdown. A similar problem was not faced by EC in Bihar because the state government is of JD(U) and the BJP source says.
