Deleted voters in final list will be far more than draft list: Suvendu
The Statesman | 2 January 2026
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari said on Friday that the total number of deleted voters in the final voters’ list in the state will be far more than the number of names already deleted in the draft voters’ list.
While the draft voters’ list was published on 16 December last year, the final voters’ list will be published on 4 February this year, at the end of the ongoing hearing sessions regarding the claims and objections to the draft voters’ list.
“Even after looting votes with illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya voters voting in favour of the Trinamul Congress, total votes by the BJP in West Bengal in the 2024 Lok Sabha election were just 40 lakh less than that of the ruling party. Already 58.20 lakh names have been deleted in the draft voters’ list. In the final voters’ list, names of more illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya voters will be deleted,” LoP Adhikari said at a public rally at Chanchal in Malda district.
Speaking on the occasion, LoP Adhikari also stressed the bigger unity of Hindu voters to oust the current government in the state.
“Maldah (Uttar) constituency in Malda district, and the Nandigram Assembly constituency in East Midnapore district have shown the results if the Hindu votes are united. If the same unity is witnessed in other Assembly constituencies in the state elections this year, then BJP candidates will win in at least 220 out of 294 Assembly constituencies in the state,” the LoP said.
