Bengal Opposition Demands Re-enrolment For 27 Lakh Deleted Voters

Times of India · politics

Opposition parties in West Bengal have demanded that 27 lakh voters, whose names were deleted, be allowed to re-enrol using Form 6. Allegations were made that the Election Commission is acting on behalf of the BJP to facilitate these deletions. Parties also questioned the filing of 16 lakh appeals for voter exclusion, suggesting officials from the CEO's office initiated them. Concerns were raised about the process, with claims that the SSR is being imposed while SIR appeals are pending, potentially impacting upcoming civic polls.
