ECI Bars Contractual Staff in West Bengal Electoral Roll Revision
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has prohibited the use of contractual staff as Booth Level Officers (BLOs) during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal. This decision follows allegations from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding potential manipulation by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) through non-permanent staff. The ECI's intervention aims to address concerns over the transparency of the electoral process in the state. The Commission has issued guidelines to ensure compliance and maintain the integrity of the revision exercise.
