Dissolution of Lok Sabha first step towards genuine SIR: Abhishek BanerjeeTrinamool Congress (TMC) general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday said immediate dissolution of the Lok Sabha should be the first step towards conducting a genuine Special Intensive Revision (SIR).In a post on X, the TMC leader also said that the SIR should be implemented across the country and not selectively in the poll-bound states.”The EC (Election Commission) has stated that the voter lists across various states on the basis of which the General Elections were held barely a year ago in 2024 are faulty and riddled with irregularities,” Banerjee said.”If that is indeed the case, and if the GoI (Government of India) agrees with the EC’s assessment, then the first step towards conducting a genuine SIR and standing on moral high ground is the immediate dissolution of Lok Sabha,” he said, and added, “If one truly supports the idea of SIR, then as per the EC’s own statement – the people of this country have been betrayed,” he said.Banerjee said the Lok Sabha should be dissolved, the SIR should be conducted across the country, and general elections should be held.
