The Election Commission of India has deleted over 27 lakh names from West Bengal's voter list following Special Intensive Revision, affecting many who voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The move has sparked accusations of bias from TMC and defenses from BJP ahead of assembly elections. The Supreme Court recently declined further intervention.
The Election Commission of India has banned motorcycle use in West Bengal from 6pm to 6am two days before each polling phase and ordered evacuation of tourists from coastal resorts like Digha, Mandarmani, Tajpur, Udaipur and Shankarpur. These unprecedented measures aim to ensure free and fair polls in the 2026 assembly elections.
