The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ploy to select voters, Trinamool Congress (TMC) general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said on Tuesday (October 28, 2025).

“Earlier, people used to elect the government. Now, this BJP government wants to select who will vote or not,” Mr. Banerjee said, addressing a press conference at the Trinamool Congress party headquarters.
