The Election Commission of India issued a stern rebuttal to Trinamool Congress over West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, warning the party against influencing or threatening Booth Level Officers. The ECI emphasized waiting until December 9 draft publication before filing objections, citing Article 326 that foreigners cannot vote. The Commission appointed a special roll observer and ordered security for election officers amid TMC allegations of bias and BLO deaths. Separately, TMC's Abhishek Banerjee launched internal overhaul, deploying nine senior leaders for nine-day district monitoring after Mamata Banerjee expressed dissatisfaction with uneven progress. The confrontation deepens ahead of 2026 elections, with both sides trading accusations over the contentious revision process affecting millions of voters.(PC: The Hindu & The Statesman)
