West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote yet another letter to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, highlighting ‘AI-driven errors’ in the electoral roll revision.
In her recent letter, Mamata alleged errors caused by AI-driven digitisation of the 2002 electoral rolls were creating serious problems for genuine voters during the ongoing SIR exercise in the state.
In her fifth communication to the CEC since the SIR began, Banerjee claimed that the use of artificial intelligence tools led to large-scale mismatches in voters’ data, resulting in many electors being wrongly flagged with “logical discrepancies”.
She accused the Election Commission of ignoring its own statutory procedures followed over the past two decades and forcing voters to re-establish their identity despite earlier corrections made through quasi-judicial processes.
The chief minister also alleged that proper acknowledgements were not being issued for documents submitted during the exercise, calling the process “fundamentally flawed”.
Raising concern over women voters, Banerjee said married women who changed surnames were being unfairly questioned, terming it insensitive and unconstitutional.
