Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent BJP leader in West Bengal, alleges that about 27 lakh voter deletions are linked to “Didi” (a reference to Mamata Banerjee) rather than the Election Commission. He makes this claim in the context of controversy over voter list changes, arguing that the scale of deletions points to political responsibility instead of administrative action.
The reporting centers on Adhikari’s accusation but does not provide details in the excerpts on evidence or the Election Commission’s response. While the allegation assigns blame to the ruling leadership in the state, the story’s framing reflects how political actors dispute responsibility for voter roll changes. Other outlets may focus on different aspects of the controversy—such as verification of voter-list processes, the timeline of deletions, or the legal and administrative explanations—though those angles are not included in the provided material.
Overall, the common thread across the available sources is Adhikari’s specific figure (27 lakh) and his attempt to shift responsibility away from the Election Commission toward Mamata Banerjee’s side.
