"Out of 20 seats with highest voter deletions, TMC won 13": Jaiveer Shergill slams Opposition for criticising ECI

BJP spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill slams opposition for questioning ECI, says TMC won 13 of 20 seats with highest voter deletions in West Bengal.

"To dear sore losers from Opposition, SIR, Election Commission worked perfectly fine in TN & Kerala BUT SIR, EC did not work per rules in W Bengal? - Jaiveer Shergill"

New Delhi, May 5

Bharatiya Janata Party Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill on Tuesday criticised opposition parties for alleging electoral malpractice in the assembly elections, questioning why they are putting doubt over the results of West Bengal but have no problems with the results in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Talking on X, he said, "To dear sore losers from Opposition, SIR, Election Commission worked perfectly fine in TN & Kerala BUT SIR, EC did not work per rules in W Bengal ? Out of 20 seats with highest voter deletions, TMC won 13!!! Opposition must Think before they Speak ! Hypocrites !!"

The BJP's victory in West Bengal marked a significant moment for the party as it has been a marginal player in the state, dominated for years by the Congress, Left parties, and later Trinamool Congress.

As per the latest data released by the Election Commission of India, the BJP has secured 206 seats out of 294 seats in the Assembly. TMC won 81 seats.

Congress won two seats, while Humayun Kabir's AJUP managed two seats, both of them won by Kabir himself. CPI(M) managed to win only one seat.

Despite the BJP's sweeping seat victory, the vote share revealed a more competitive undercurrent. The party secured 45.84% of the vote, while the TMC followed closely with 40.80%, highlighting that the electoral battle remained fiercely contested at the grassroots level.

The CPI(M) garnered 4.45%, and Congress secured 2.97%, while other smaller parties and independents collectively contributed around 4.28%. The numbers suggest that while the BJP translated its vote share into a decisive seat advantage, the Opposition retained a substantial voter base--pointing to a divided yet shifting electorate.

Meanwhile, Actor-turned-politician Vijay created a flutter in Tamil Nadu, as his party TVK won 108 seats in the assembly polls and pushed the two Dravadian parties to distant positions in terms of seats.

Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) scored a massive victory in Keralam and the NR Congress (AINRC)-led alliance comfortably retained Puducherry.

Interesting take by Shergill. But isn't voter deletion a separate issue from results? EC needs to be transparent everywhere, but selectively calling out Bengal while ignoring similar patterns is a fair point. The data seems skewed.

Opposition always does this: 'EC is fine when we win, problematic when we lose'. In Bengal, TMC's own government machinery may have played tricks. Shergill's stat is a reality check. Arre, think before blaming the EC!

A bit convenient: BJP wins big in Bengal, so they praise EC. But if they lost, they'd be screaming. Still, voter deletion data does suggest TMC might have gained—that's a valid point. Let's not be hypocrites on either side.

Good logic from Shergill. Opposition needs to introspect why they lost in UP, Uttarakhand, etc., and now Bengal. ECI isn't perfect, but selective questioning is just sour grapes. TMC should focus on governance, not blame games.

Wait, if EC is so perfect, why were there many complaints even in Tamil Nadu? But yes, the hypocrisy is unreal—opposition only wakes up when they lose. Shergill's point about 13 out of 20 seats with maximum deletions going to TMC is damning. 🤔
