"Voter List Clean-up Necessary": Bengal Governor Jabs Trinamool Before Poll
A "clean up" of electoral rolls is necessary ahead of an Assembly election less than six months away, Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose told NDTV Wednesday in an exclusive interview.
The Governor also told NDTV he had visited border areas in the state, which shares a 2,200-km-long border with Bangladesh, and said the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR – i.e., the contentious Election Commission-mandated voter re-verification drive – had led to a 'reverse migration'; illegal immigrants, he said, were rushing back before they were caught and deported.
