Ninety-five per cent of deleted voters. A total of 2,826 names have been deleted from the electoral rolls in Nandigram in the supplementary lists. In the post-SIR rolls published on February 28, more than 10,500 cases in the Nandigram Assembly segment were marked “under adjudication”. “This analysis suggests the SIR process was conducted with a political agenda — to purge Muslim names to secure electoral advantage for one party. The deleted voters are unlikely to be able to vote this time, as the appeals process will take time,” he said.
