TMC couldn't raise any "logical questions" on SIR, says Union Minister Majumdar

Balurghat (West Bengal) [India], January 2 : Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar on Friday said said that Trinamool Congress (TMC) hadn't raised any "logical questions" against Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
"If they (TMC) have any issue against the SIR (Special Intensive Revision), they should tell the Election Commission, and the Election Commission has responded to everything. They couldn't raise any logical questions", he stated.
He further noted the duties of ECI, saying, "It is the job of the Election Commission to ensure that only the citizens of India cast their votes"
Meanwhile, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee on Friday continued his criticism of the Election Commission of India (ECI), alleging that the BJP, in coordination with the poll body, is attempting to curb the rights of the people of West Bengal through the Special Intensive Revision process.
"BJP wants to curb the rights of the people of Bengal through SIR. People will demonstrate their power to them with a good 'vidai'. Today, I am launching this major campaign for the upcoming election from Baruipur. Tomorrow, I will travel to Alipurduar and visit multiple districts. I will fight with you on the ground as Mamata Banerjee's soldier," Abhishek Banerjee said while addressing a gathering in South 24 Paraganas.
Banerjee also accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of facilitating "vote theft" and claimed that electoral manipulation does not occur through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) but through administrative processes linked to voter list revisions.
Over 58.2 lakh names were deleted during the enumeration period of the SIR exercise in the state. The ECI had published the draft voter list for West Bengal on December 16.
