In 49 of 294 Bengal seats, SIR deletions exceeded the victory margin

The Indian Express reported that in 49 of West Bengal's 294 seats, SIR deletions exceeded the winning margin, and that these seats were split almost evenly: 26 won by BJP and 21 by TMC. The paper said there was no evidence of the SIR's role in the outcome.

Computed by The Indian Express; the method (which deletions were counted, draft-stage or adjudication) is not stated in the article. 26 + 21 = 47, two short of 49; the article does not name the winners of the other two.
