Overview
- The Election Commission invited a TMC delegation to Nirvachan Sadan at 11 am on November 28 after Derek O’Brien sought time to present the party’s grievances about the Special Intensive Revision.
- At a Bongaon rally, Mamata Banerjee announced a nationwide yatra, labelled the EC a “BJP Commission,” warned Matua voters about possible delisting under the CAA, and linked 35–36 deaths to SIR-related stress.
- West Bengal CEO Manoj Kumar Agarwal said the revision is proceeding smoothly, asserted most protesters were not BLOs, promised support for unwell staff, and reiterated the December 4 completion target.
- Banerjee’s letters to the CEC questioned an RfP to hire 1,000 data entry operators and 50 software developers and flagged proposals for polling stations in private housing complexes, issues on which the Commission has not formally replied.
- The BJP defended the roll cleanup as legitimate, accused the opposition of obstructing a transparent process, and alleged Banerjee is bullying BLOs and twisting facts, even as TMC extended ‘vote suraksha’ assistance camps to January 31.
