Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed apprehension that around 1.20 crore voters\u2019 names could be removed from the state\u2019s voters\u2019 list when the final electoral roll is released by the Election Commission by the end of this month, following the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mamata Banerjee addressing a gathering in Kolkata, said the Election Commission of India (ECI) is identifying a large number of voters under what it termed \u201clogical discrepancy\u201d cases.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Election Commission of India is planning to delete such a huge number of names after identifying them as logical discrepancy cases. The revision exercise is still on. I am in pain. First, over 58 lakh names were deleted in the draft voters\u2019 list that was published in December last year. Then they started the process of deleting names after identifying them as logical discrepancy cases. I apprehend that a total of 1.20 crore voters\u2019 names will be finally deleted at the end of the SIR. I fought up to the level of the Supreme Court in the matter. The fight is still on,\u201d the Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy only prayer now is that the democratic rights of the people should remain protected. I am against the deletion of names. I pray for them whose names will be deleted. I heard that names of voters with valid identity documents are also being deleted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
As per the current schedule, the final electoral rolls in West Bengal are set to be published on February 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
