West Bengal BJP's Do-or-Die Mission: Electoral Roll Revision Unveiled

West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya has instructed party leaders to treat the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls as critical. Failure to execute it effectively might jeopardize the party's foundation in the state, leading to grave political repercussions as alleged voter roll discrepancies are being challenged.

In a recent virtual meeting, West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya emphasized the importance of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, describing it as a pivotal mission for the party. He warned party leaders that failure to ensure its success could result in severe political ramifications for the BJP in the state.

Bhattacharya's remarks underscored growing concerns about alleged irregularities in the voter rolls, claiming that 'fake and inflated' entries threaten the party's chances in the 2026 assembly polls. He criticized sections of the organization for viewing the effort as a routine task, urging a more dedicated approach.

The BJP has identified significant voter increases in numerous constituencies as potentially unnatural, seeking to address this through the SIR. Meanwhile, the party must tackle internal organizational challenges, like a shortage of Booth Level Agents, while refuting TMC's dismissal of the allegations.
