TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee Hits Out At The Election Commission Over Voter Deletion

Senior Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee on Friday attacked Union Home Minister Amit Shah for repeatedly raising the issue of infiltration in his poll speeches in West Bengal. Banerjee also claimed that of the 91 lakh voters deleted during the course of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, around 63 per cent are Hindus. “In the first list released in February, 58 lakh names were deleted, then around 6 lakh more names were deleted. Later, from the adjudication list, around 27 lakh names were deleted. In total, around 90 lakh names were deleted, out of which 63% are Bengali Hindus,” Banerjee said.
