Kolkata Former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi alleged that the West Bengal elections were not legally valid. He reinstated that the decisions at the Election Commission of India should be based on a majority.

Now it is in front of the Supreme Court; I am hoping they will take the right decision,” Mr. Quraishi said. He further added that some parts of it may have been valid but also said that in places where there was suspicious of majority Muslim voters being removed must be rechecked and go for re-polls if needed.
