West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed concern that up to 1.2 crore voter names may be deleted following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, citing deletions under 'logical discrepancies' beyond the initial 58 lakh names removed. She has challenged the process in the Supreme Court and pledged to support all legitimate voters regardless of political or religious affiliation. The Election Commission plans to publish the final rolls on February 28, with supplementary lists to follow. BJP leaders have accused Mamata of protecting infiltrators and spreading fear ahead of elections.
