TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee criticized the Election Commission and BJP, calling CEC Gyanesh Kumar a "magician" and "Vanish Kumar" for alleged arbitrary voter deletions in West Bengal. He accused the BJP MPs of being like "snakes" that would harm their own voters. Banerjee likened the voter revision process to demonetization, alleging a lack of transparency and accountability, and claimed the government is deciding who can vote, not the people.
