KOLKATA: The draft voters’ list in West Bengal, which was published earlier in the day, shows that a total of 44, 770 voters from the previous list as of October 2025 have been excluded in the Bhabanipur Assembly constituency in South Kolkata, where the elected legislator is Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The number of voters excluded from booth number 260, where both Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress General Secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, cast their votes, stands at 127. Out of these 127 voters, 13 are deceased voters, and the rest are either shifted voters or untraceable or duplicate voters, or those found suitable for exclusion for other reasons.
To recall, in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly polls, Adhikari got elected from Nandigram, defeating the Chief Minister and the Trinamool Congress candidate Mamata Banerjee by a little less than 2, 000 voters.
Later, Mamata Banerjee got elected in the by-elections from Bhabanipur and retained her chair as the Chief Minister for the third consecutive term.
