Before the election the Indian government under Modi deleted the voter registrations for 12% of the state’s population, specifically targeting the ethnic minorities who supported the existing state government.
No exaggeration, Modi deleted millions of registered voters in the state before the selection.
Doing a quick Google, it seems like the culling of the electoral roll happened and targeted non-Hindu people more than Hindu people.
Given the numbers reported in the West Bengal rolls, I would expect that election to be highly impacted by the change in rolls. However, it looks like while the draft SIR got rid of 2,400,000 voters per this article, the final number in Kerala removed was only 53,229 per this article.
Modi definitely tried to steal the election and I wouldn’t be surprised if it significantly affected some state elections, but it appears like SIR was muted in this state unless you have information I don’t have.
Also, for others, I converted the commas to a western format since I have issues seeing lakh and crore in the same way that I see thousands and millions.
Ali, 65, and his children are among nine million voters - about 12% of West Bengal’s 76 million electorate - who have been removed from the 2026 rolls as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.

My name is not there in the latest electoral rolls. I’m not a Muslim by the way.
I have a pitched up battle with the Election commission in the days coming up ahead !!

And I agreed that West Bengal had higher figures in my response, but I was talking about Kerala because that is what the post’s article is about.
