West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that the names of people belonging to the Matua and minority communities have been removed from the electoral rolls in the state following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise ahead of the forthcoming assembly elections.
Addressing a poll rally in Chakdaha in Nadia district, West Bengal CM said the TMC would support individuals whose names were excluded from the electoral register after the latest revision process. Mamata further alleged that ‘names were being removed from the voter rolls by targeting specific communities… the Matuas, Rajbanshis and minorities.’
According to the latest data from the Election Commission, nearly 91 lakh voters across the state have been deleted from the electoral rolls after the SIR process. Banerjee claimed that following her intervention in the Supreme Court, approximately 32 lakh names out of nearly 60 lakh cases under consideration for adjudication have been restored to the lists.
Elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly will vote in two phases – 23 and 29 April. The results of all elections will be announced on 4 May.
