Bengal SIR: EC Data Refutes BJP's 1 Crore 'Bogus Voter' Claim
- •BJP's Suvendu Adhikari alleged 1 crore Rohingya and Bangladeshis are fraudulently listed as voters in West Bengal.
- •EC's draft electoral roll, post-Special Intensive Revision (SIR), identified 1,83,328 "bogus voters."
- •TMC countered BJP's 1 crore claim, citing EC data and calling the allegation "misinformation."
- •Over 58 lakh names were removed from the draft rolls after SIR, including due to death, migration, and duplication.
- •TMC questioned deletion rate disparities, noting 0.6% in Muslim-majority areas vs. 9% in Matua-dominated areas, and denied Rohingya voters.
Why It Matters: EC data reveals 1.83 lakh bogus voters, contradicting BJP's 1 crore claim in Bengal.
