The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has raised concerns in the Supreme Court regarding the impact of deletions in the electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process on the recent assembly elections in West Bengal. TMC leader Kalyan Bandhopadhyay argued that in 31 constituencies, the winning margin for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was lower than the number of voters deleted, suggesting that these deletions materially affected the election results.
