The percentage of Muslims on the logical discrepancy lists far exceeds their share in the population in four Assembly constituencies in Calcutta, a study has found. ADVERTISEMENTThe lists of absent, permanently shifted, dead and duplicate (ASDD) voters, and unmapped voters broadly reflect the areas’ demography, the study says, but the same does not hold true for the logical discrepancy lists. The Muslim share in the December 16 ASDD list was around 23%, while the share in the unmapped voters’ list was around 26%. The Muslim share in the unmapped and ASDD voters’ lists was 44% and 42%, respectively. However, Muslim representation rises sharply to 77.5% in the logical discrepancy list.
