TMC on the Offensive
Trinamool Congress has intensified its criticism of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls. The party alleges that:
-
The SIR drive is being used to manipulate voter lists in certain regions
-
Local booth-level data is being revised without transparency
-
Ground workers, officers, and civic volunteers are facing excessive pressure during verification tasks
Senior leaders from All India Trinamool Congress Youth Wing and district organizational units have been holding rallies and press briefings, calling the revision process “faulty and opaque.” The broader message from TMC is that electoral-roll changes must be debated publicly and watched closely.
Why BJP Doesn’t Want a Heated Pitch
Bharatiya Janata Party has built strong momentum in West Bengal by dominating high-energy political narratives in the past. However, this time:
-
The party is being advised internally to avoid over-aggressive messaging
-
A highly confrontational political arena could benefit the ruling TMC by uniting opposition voters emotionally
-
The BJP wants focus on development messaging rather than only election-centric controversies
PM Modi’s Call to ‘Temper the Pitch’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants BJP leaders to adopt a controlled and balanced tone while campaigning or speaking on sensitive election matters in Bengal.
His rationale:
-
Bengal already has political intensity — adding more heat may harm long-term electoral strategy
-
BJP aims to build broader acceptance among undecided and centrist voters
-
A softer pitch allows the party to highlight:
-
Infrastructure growth via National Highways Authority of India
-
Housing push under PM Awas Yojana
-
Digital public services and state aspirations
-
-
Political analysts believe BJP wants to avoid a scenario where emotional nationalism overshadows governance messaging — especially when TMC is steering the debate toward electoral suspicion.
Current Strategy Outlook
| Party | Current Playbook |
|---|---|
| TMC | Attack SIR fiercely, question credibility, rally workers on ground transparency |
| BJP | Reduce confrontation, talk governance, development, stability, long-term voter trust |
