New Delhi. The opposition is attacking the Election Commission regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list of West Bengal. Meanwhile, Congress leader Sandeep Dixit said on Tuesday that the SIR process is not transparent. Congress leader Sandeep Dixit while talking to IANS said, “News is coming from all over the country that due to SIR, there is a lot of pressure on BLOs. When we call the officials, they tell us that we are still engaged in SIR work. The way SIR was done earlier, by door to door survey, it is not being done, so what is the pressure on BLOs, I am not able to understand.” He said, “Earlier also when there was SIR, there was a chance to revise it for two or three months. After that the list was printed and a chance was given, but this time the entire process was not transparent, which is a matter of concern.”
On Rambhadracharya’s statement that Sonia Gandhi was not an Indian, the Congress leader said, “In their view, who is an Indian and who is not, it has no meaning. Here, the citizenship of the people is decided by our Constitution, it is not decided by any person. Anyone can think anything. Tomorrow I start thinking that even animals should be citizens of the country, someone starts saying that the one who has gray hair should not be a citizen. In such a situation, all these things have no meaning. In our place, citizenship is decided by the Constitution and the Citizenship Act. Is.”
Sandeep Dixit supported the statement of Congress State President Ajay, in which he said that we all are Ram devotees, but the government is showing it like an advertisement. Dixit said, “Every person is a devotee. The government has been helping in religious events, but if someone starts presenting it like an advertisement, then it becomes politicization of religion, which should not happen.”
‘Around 10 lakh SIR forms have not been submitted yet in Bengal’
On the other hand, West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar Aggarwal said on Monday that more than 10 lakh counting forms have not been submitted so far under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of voter lists in the state. He said these enumeration forms could not be submitted because the voters are either absent, have duplication of names, or are dead or permanently transferred.
Aggarwal said, “Till 4 pm on Monday, collection and digitization of 4.55 crore enumeration forms has been completed. Of these, 10.33 lakh enumeration forms could not be collected. This is real-time data.” He informed that 7.64 crore census forms have been distributed in the state. Aggarwal said that at present, out of the total enumeration forms distributed, 1.35 percent forms have not been received back.
