High-stakes West Bengal election begins in India amid voter roll row
Millions of Indians have begun voting in high-stakes state elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, BBC reported.
In West Bengal, where the fiercest contest is unfolding, voting is under way in 152 of 294 seats across 16 districts in the first phase, with 1,478 candidates in the fray. A second phase of polling is scheduled for next week.

The election is taking place against a controversy over a sweeping revision of electoral rolls that has heightened political tensions, according to BBC.
Floundering Chelsea sack Rosenior amid worst scoring drought in 114 years
Chelsea sacked manager Liam Rosenior on Wednesday following a catastrophic run of form that has left the London club's Champions League hopes hanging by a thread while they also endured their worst goalscoring drought in over a century, Reuters reported.
Rosenior lasted less than four months in the role after his January appointment following Enzo Maresca's departure, becoming the latest casualty of Chelsea's turbulent season after seven defeats in their last eight matches across all competitions.
Rosenior's dismissal came a day after a humiliating 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion, which saw the south-coast club leapfrog Chelsea into sixth place in the table. Chelsea are now seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
