Kolkata, April 8 -- Nearly 9.1 million voters have been deleted from the electoral rolls in West Bengal following the Special Intensive Revision exercise in the state, according to data released by the Election Commission. The poll panel is yet to officially announce the finally altered voter base for the state after the roll revision process. From the available figures, however, the total deletion in the state at this point, based on the 76.6 million electors identified at the end of October last year, stands at over 11.85%. The final deletion figure, since the beginning of the SIR process, stood at a little over 9.08 million. Over 2.71 million of 6 million 'under adjudication' voters have been deleted during the now-concluded scrutiny by judicial officers, the EC data said. The figure shows that some 45.22% of the cases under judicial scrutiny following the publication of the post-SIR electoral rolls on February 28 were deleted. More than 3.26 million of those in the 'under adjudication' category have been retained and included in the final rolls. The EC figures showed that maximum deletions were recorded in the Muslim-majority district of Murshidabad, where over 455,000 of the 1.1 million names under judicial scrutiny were removed from the electoral rolls, taking the under-adjudication deletion figure in the district to around 41.33%. Significant deletions were also recorded in the Bangladesh-bordering North 24 Parganas district, where over 325,000 of the 591,000 under-scrutiny electors were found not eligible to vote, and in Malda, where over 239,000 of the 828,000 under judicial review voters were deleted. The deletion figures following adjudication in South 24 Parganas district stood at nearly 223,000, in Purba Bardhaman district at 209,000 and in Nadia at 298,000, the EC data said. In terms of percentage, post-adjudication deletions in Nadia and North 24 Parganas - districts which are perceptively dominated by the Hindu namashudra Matua community members - were at a whopping 77.86% and 55.08% respectively. Over 28,000 voters were deleted in Kolkata South, which comprises Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Bhabanipur assembly constituency, pegging the deletion percentage during adjudications at 36.19. Some 39,000 under-scrutiny voters in Kolkata North were found not eligible to vote, pinning the deletion percentage there at nearly 64. According to official data released on February 28, 6.3 million names, around 8.3% of the electorate, were deleted since the SIR process began in November last year, reducing the voter base from about 76.6 million to just over 70.4 million. More than 6 million electors, who were placed in the "under adjudication" category, were part of the 70.4 million voter base. Voters, aggrieved with their name deletions from the final rolls, have the option to move the tribunals, specially set up under Supreme Court orders in the state, but there is no clarity yet on whether electors found eligible by the tribunal judges will be able to exercise their franchise in the upcoming polls. "The revision exercise has been carried out in a phased and transparent manner. District-wise data has now been placed in the public domain to ensure complete accountability," a senior EC official said....
