EC Must Reveal Number of Bangladeshis, Rohingyas Out of 58.20 Lakh Names Deleted in SIR: Abhishek

By AK Rai 28 Dec 2025 Comment Edit

PTI, KOLKATA, DEC 27, 2025: TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday said that the Election Commission must come out with the number of illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas out of the 58.20 lakh names deleted after the publication of draft electoral rolls in West Bengal under the ongoing SIR.
Alleging that the state was being targeted selectively by the Centre since the TMC won the 2021 Assembly polls in the state, Banerjee claimed that the "agenda is to harass the people of the state."
The TMC national general secretary also said that Bengal's population is 10.05 crore, and the number of voter deletions in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise is 58.20 lakh. "This is just 5.79 per cent of the population, the lowest among all the states where SIR is being held," the Diamond Harbour MP said while addressing a press conference here.
He demanded that the "ECI come out with the number of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas out of 58.20 lakh names deleted."
