A delegation comprising senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday (November 3, 2025) met officials of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in New Delhi and raised several issues relating to (Special Intensive Revision) in West Bengal.
The delegation which comprised West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya, former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb and BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya raised concerns over documents issued by the West Bengal government.
The memorandum submitted by the BJP leadership to the ECI pointed to the different “ground realities” between West Bengal and Bihar, stating that the State has witnessed large-scale issuance of backdated and forged documents, particularly through government schemes such as ‘Duare Sarkar (Governance at doorstep) aimed ostensibly at citizen welfare but effectively utilized to provide documentation to illegal infiltrators from across the border.
There has been a sudden surge in delayed registrations across Bengal despite birth certificates being recognised as acceptable documents for registration, the BJP leadership claimed in the memorandum. It recommended that “birth certificates issued after 24th June 2025 should not be accepted for SIR purposes.”
