Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday reiterated that conducting a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) after elections is “not justified,” addressing the ongoing controversy around voter roll revision in Bihar ahead of the Assembly polls.“Special Intensive Revision (SIR) began on June 24, 2025 and ended before the deadline that was set for it. For the mental motivation of the BLO workers who worked tirelessly, remuneration was provided for them,” Kumar said at a press conference.The CEC, who is in Bihar with his team to review poll preparedness from October 4-6, also detailed the state’s election readiness. “There are 243 general constituencies in Bihar – 2 for STs and 38 for SCs. The term of the Bihar Legislative Assembly ends on November 22, 2025, and the elections will be held before November 22,” he said.
