TMC Moves Resolution Against SIR in Bengal Assembly

The West Bengal assembly on Thursday witnessed sharp political sparring over a proposed discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with Speaker Biman Banerjee ruling out a debate on the issue, as the matter was pending before the Supreme Court. 

The ruling Trinamool Congress



had sought a discussion on the SIR exercise, arguing that it was causing widespread harassment of voters ahead of the 2026 assembly elections.

However, the Speaker said the House would not take up the issue as it was sub judice, and that discussions would be limited to the governor's address.
