The Election Commission of India has reported that 27.16 lakh names, or 45.22%, of the 60.06 lakh voters under adjudication have been removed from the electoral rolls in West Bengal. The highest deletions occurred in the Muslim-majority districts of Murshidabad and Malda, with Samserganj in Murshidabad seeing 74,775 deletions, representing 29.57% of its electorate. Other constituencies, such as Lalgola and Bhagabangola, also experienced significant voter removals. The deletions have sparked protests in various locations, including National Highway-12 in Malda, where demonstrators clashed with police, resulting in injuries and arrests. The deletions disproportionately affected areas with high populations of Matua and Muslim voters, while the Adivasi regions of Bankura and Purulia reported the least deletions. The ongoing situation raises concerns about the electoral process and its impact on community representation.
