In the same press briefing, the MP turned his attention to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll. He described the process as "flawed" and warned that legitimate voters are being removed without adequate justification. Roy urged the Election Commission to intervene and called on the central government to review the methodology. He also criticized the recent appointment of Jyotiprakash Chattopadhyay as national president of the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), stating that the party’s legal status is still pending and that the move is premature.
