Mamata Banerjee Alleges EC–BJP Nexus in 63.66 Lakh Voter Deletions in Bengal

The chief minister plans a March 6 sit-in to protest what she calls partisan purges of the rolls.

Overview

Final post-revision rolls record 63.66 lakh deletions—about 8.3% of the electorate—leaving just over 7.04 crore voters, with more than 60.06 lakh names under adjudication.
In Bhabanipur, roughly 47,000 names were removed in the final list and 14,154 cases were sent for judicial adjudication, with additional deletions possible after scrutiny.
Mamata Banerjee claimed genuine voters, including TMC supporters, were targeted and said she would still win Bhabanipur “even if one voter is left.”
BJP leaders dismissed the charge, saying the exercise removed ineligible, duplicate, deceased or infiltrator entries, and asserted the TMC is rattled.
Election authorities maintain the Special Intensive Revision follows established norms in one of the most extensive roll updates since 2002, as state polls are expected as early as April.
