A Trinamool Congress delegation on Friday (November 28, 2025) met the full bench of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in New Delhi and alleged that at least 40 SIR-related deaths had taken place in West Bengal, accusing the poll panel chief of having "blood on his hands".
The 10-member delegation, led by TMC Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien, met the ECI officials amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal.
The delegation consisted of Lok Sabha MPs Mahua Moitra, Satabdi Roy, Kalyan Banerjee, Pratima Mondal, Sajda Ahmed, and Rajya Sabha MPs Dola Sen, Mamata Thakur, Saket Gokhale, and Prakash Chik Barik.
SIR 2.0: All about enumeration form, draft roll, appeal against exclusion
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr. O'Brien said the party raised five questions, but Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar did not give any answers.
