Data reveals that out of 60 lakh voters placed under adjudication, only about 32 lakh have been deemed eligible, while the remaining 28 lakh names have been struck off. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed strong resentment, announcing that the Trinamool Congress will once again knock on the doors of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking after filing her nomination papers for the Bhowanipore Assembly constituency on Wednesday, Mamata Banerjee stated, &#8220;I am pained because countless genuine voters have been excluded. It was only because of our initial petition to the Supreme Court that 32 lakh names were retained.&#8221; She criticized the Commission for not providing a clear breakdown of why 28 lakh names were axed, suspecting a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise a large section of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CM emphasized that over 27 lakh voters still under adjudication deserve their right to vote and questioned the suspension of the tribunal appeal process. With districts like Murshidabad and North 24 Parganas seeing the highest deletion rates, the TMC leadership has termed the exercise as &#8220;vote theft.&#8221; As the state prepares for a high-stakes election, this legal battle over the electoral rolls is set to be the defining flashpoint in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The political standoff between the West Bengal government and the Election Commission has escalated further following the midnight publication of the finalized Special Intensive Revision (SIR) list.
