A major controversy has erupted in West Bengal amid assembly elections as over 27 lakh voters were removed during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process — but shockingly, only 139 have regained their voting rights so far.

Despite nearly 34 lakh appeals, just 147 cases have been resolved, raising serious concerns over the efficiency and transparency of the tribunal process set up under Supreme Court directives.

The issue deepens as districts like Murshidabad saw massive deletions, yet barely any restorations. Even notable names like artist Nandalal Bose’s grandson made the restored list — though many still remain excluded.

With questions mounting over electoral fairness, is this a system failure or procedural necessity?
