Mamata Banerjee Nervous: '1 Crore Vote' Math Threatens TMC's Bengal Game
•Mamata Banerjee and TMC are highly agitated over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in West Bengal, alleging a BJP conspiracy.
•TMC claims 63.66 lakh names already removed or objected to, fearing a total of 1 crore votes could be cut, impacting their traditional vote bank.
•A 1 crore vote cut would mean approximately 34,000 votes per Assembly seat and 2.38 lakh per Lok Sabha seat, critical given narrow victory margins.
•TMC alleges the Election Commission usurped ERO powers, gave them to DEO/micro-observers, and that the process is non-transparent with valid documents not being accepted.
•Mamata directly accuses BJP of using central agencies like NIA and ED to manipulate the voter list and steal votes.
