Raising serious concerns over discrepancies in the revised electoral roll, Banerjee said, "After the SIR list is out, 2 deaths reported today out of panic."
Banerjee raised concerns over multiple inconsistencies in the final SIR list, alleging that the names of common voters were forcibly deleted to meet pre-set targets. He claimed that many people, including 243 individuals who reached out to him, were listed as dead despite being alive.
The electors have been included in the draft SIR list released on Tuesday, and they will receive notices to present their relevant documents to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) or Assistant EROs who will determine the voter's claim of being included in the list.
The party said that they want the Election Commission (EC) to clarify the final SIR list and provide details on the 3,66,000 voters whose names were deleted, including reasons for removal.
