Kolkata, Nov 10 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday dubbed the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls as “votebandi”, and urged the Election Commission to immediately stop the exercise.

Blaming the Centre for “holding back state government employees for months on end in the name of conducting SIR”, Banerjee accused the Union government of creating a “super emergency” like situation.

“The state employees are being held back till February next year when the final rolls will be published. After that the elections will be announced. When will the state government work? It’s a deliberate ploy to keep the government out of action for three months. This is like a super emergency implemented in the garb of SIR,” Banerjee claimed. Show Full Article
