POST VOTER DELETIONS
Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday said BJP leaders, the Chief Election Commissioner and the Union Home minister should publicly apologise for spreading what he called a "fake infiltrator narrative" after 58 lakh preexisting voters were excluded from the draft electoral rolls published by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Referring to repeated claims by Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari that West Bengal hosts one crore Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals, Banerjee said the draft rolls provided no numerical basis for such assertions. The ECI's own categorisation, he added, showed that the number of so-called "fake" voters was far below the BJP's claims.
"The way Bengal has been deliberately defamed, the Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commissioners, the Union Home minister and BJP leaders who spread this narrative should publicly hold their ears and apologise to the people of Bengal," Banerjee said, asserting that the TMC would return to power in the 2026 Assembly elections with a stronger mandate.
