The Election Commission released West Bengal data showing that the All India Trinamool Congress secured seats even after certain SIR entries were removed, amid allegations of vote theft.
The Election Commission of India has published updated results for West Bengal, confirming that the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) won a number of seats in the state elections.
The data was released amid a controversy over alleged vote theft, with opposition parties claiming that certain SIR (State Election Commission) entries had been deleted. Despite these deletions, the Commission’s figures still show TMC’s victories in the contested constituencies.
Election officials stated that the removal of the SIR entries was due to technical errors and did not alter the overall seat distribution. The release is intended to address concerns raised by opposition leaders and to provide clarity on the final tally.
While the announcement may reduce some of the immediate tension, opposition parties have expressed continued skepticism and are calling for a more detailed audit of the data.
The Commission’s decision to publish the figures comes at a time when the political climate in West Bengal remains highly charged, with both sides preparing for the next phase of electoral scrutiny.
