West Bengal Polls and Voter Deletions

The massive exclusion of names from the supplementary voter lists has triggered a wave of appeals, with 19 tribunals set to begin hearings in Kolkata on Monday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a rally in North Bengal, accused the TMC of supporting 'tukde-tukde' gangs that threaten national security.

The BJP has promised a special development package for the region, while the TMC alleges that central agencies are being used to harass its candidates.

With 10.9% net voter deletions, West Bengal ranks among the highest in the country for elector removal, raising serious concerns over the fairness of the upcoming vote.
