West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday began a sit-in here to protest against the alleged arbitrary deletions from the post-SIR electoral rolls, escalating the TMC's confrontation with the Election Commission ahead of the state assembly polls.
Launching the dharna at Kolkata's Esplanade Metro Channel, Banerjee accused the BJP and the
Election Commission of conspiring to "disenfranchise Bengali voters" and vowed to expose them.
"I will expose the BJP-EC conspiracy to disenfranchise Bengali voters," the TMC supremo said at the start of the protest.
She also alleged that several voters had been wrongly marked as deceased in the revised electoral rolls.
