BJP's take on the final voters' list
[LIST]
[*]West Bengal BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar called out illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya names on the rolls.
[*]Dead voters padding the list over the years was another allegation Sarkar threw out.
[*]The Election Commission of India's SIR exercise has already deleted 61,78,245 names.
[*]Sarkar believes even more deletions would have happened with full ECI freedom.
