Will seek list of voters flagged for 'logical discrepancies' during Dec 31 meet with CEC: Abhishek

KOLKATA: (Dec 27) Senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday said he would meet Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on December 31 and urge him to publish the list of 1.31 crore voters who have been flagged for "logical discrepancies" during the SIR exercise.

Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, Banerjee said he would give a timeframe to the EC to publish the list and would gherao its office if the demand is not met.

"I will go to Delhi on December 31 and meet the chief election commissioner and seek an answer. Why is the EC not coming out with the list of names? Is this figure meant to reach the target of 1-1.5 crore that the BJP has set for deletions of names following the SIR in Bengal," he asked.
