  "summary": "West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has blamed former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the deletion of 27 lakh names from the state's electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), asserting that neither the BJP nor the Election Commission (EC) can be held responsible. Adhikari claims that judicial officers followed Supreme Court directions in a case filed by Banerjee herself, and accused her of attempting to shift blame after losing the Assembly elections. The chief minister's comments come amid renewed political confrontation over the SIR exercise, with Banerjee's party alleging that genuine voters were removed and demanding their restoration.",
