West Bengal Voter List Purge Sparks Political Controversy and TMC Concerns

In West Bengal, a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process has led to the deletion of over 5.8 million names from voter lists, impacting TMC strongholds and minority-heavy districts. The TMC alleges this is an anti-minority conspiracy by the BJP and Election Commission, potentially consolidating Muslim votes but alienating moderate Hindus. The process may also affect welfare scheme linkages and TMC's voter morale, while opposition parties could leverage it to energize their cadres.
