Why West Bengal Cm Mamata Banerjee Arguing Her Own Case Against Ec Is A Lesson For Opposition

Card image cap

Opposition parties have been fighting a legal and political fight against the Election Commission for trying to quickly revise voters lists in election-going states like Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, an exercise the commission is trying to undertake in a couple of months, but which in the past has taken much, much longer.

It first happened before elections in Bihar and the INDIA alliance claimed that it's the reason why they lost the election so badly. However, their complaints didn't really resonate on the ground and even though thousands of voters had to rush back home to make sure their names weren't struck off the list, and even though the opposition kept insisting that the BJP was controlling the election commission.

However, politically, SIR or special intensive revision was considered a flop issue, till this week. So what changed?

Watch.
