The electoral roll of Bhabanipur Assembly constituency in West Bengal, represented by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is expected to see more names being deleted as the ongoing judicial adjudication of voters’ documents progresses. According to data from the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, 14,154 voters’ documents have been classified under “logical discrepancy” and referred for judicial adjudication.
In the current voters’ list for West Bengal, excluding cases under judicial adjudication, 47,111 names have already been removed from Bhabanipur. The additional names likely to be deleted during the judicial adjudication will be added to this figure. The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, has raised concerns, labeling the situation as a “danger signal” for the Chief Minister.
Suvendu Adhikari highlighted the diminishing number of voters in Bhabanipur, suggesting a potential challenge for the Chief Minister’s victory in the upcoming Assembly polls. Despite this, Mamata Banerjee remains optimistic about winning from the Bhabanipur Assembly constituency, expressing confidence in her victory even if just one voter remains. She also criticized the Election Commission of India (ECI) for what she perceives as deliberate deletion of genuine voters, attributing it to a conspiracy involving the BJP.
