The Trinamul Congress strongly opposed any possibility of SIR in West Bengal. In a post on its X handle, the party wrote: “We strongly oppose @ECISVEEP’s Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar.

We demand that: 2024 be treated as the base year, not 2003

“The Hon’ble Supreme Court urgently review this politically motivated exercise

Adding to the post, party’s RS member and spokesperson Derek O’ Brien posted: “Extremely Compromised (EC).”
