Shashi Tharoor Questions Voter Roll Deletions After BJP’s Big Bengal Win

A lot of names were removed from voter lists in West Bengal during this revision a total of 91 Lakh names.Out of these 34 lakh people said they were voters and their names were removed by mistake, which's really sad.Shashi Tharoor said many of these people did not get time to fix their appeals before voting happened so they missed their chance.

A few hundred cases were looked at before the elections, which is not a lot.Lakhs of appeals were still pending which means they were not resolved.

He thinks this might have changed the election result, which's possible.Many people who thought they could vote were not able to, which is not fair.

Shashi Tharoor also pointed out that the BJP won West Bengal by 30 lakh votes, which's a big margin.He asked if the process was fair if many appeals were not resolved during the election, which's a good question.

In the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections the BJP won 207 seats, which's a lot.This meant the end of the Trinamool Congress government led by Mamata Banerjee, which had been in power for 15 years so it was a change.The TMC only won 80 seats, which's not a lot.

Shashi Tharoor also said that in Kerala the Congress might have benefited from the voter list revision, which's interesting.He said some voters had their names registered times in different booths, which is not right.

These were mostly supporters of the CPM so it affected them.He said these extra names were removed during the revision, which's good.This might have helped the Congress-led alliance in Kerala, which's possible.The Congress-led United Democratic Front won 102 seats in the Kerala Assembly elections, which's a win.They defeated the Left Democratic Front, which had been in power for 10 years so it was a win.

The BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari is now the Chief Minister of West Bengal which's a new role for him.The BJP won a victory in the elections that is a fact.The Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is still worried, about the voter lists and the election result, which is understandable.
