Discrepancies Flagged in Ludhiana East Electoral Rolls: Eyebrows Raised over Bhagat Singh’s Photo in Voter List
Amarinder Singh Raja Warring sought an Election Commission probe after officials said they would verify the disputed entry and examine possible errors in the rolls.
- Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring demanded an impartial investigation after a photograph resembling Bhagat Singh was allegedly found against a voter's name at polling booth 38 in Ludhiana East.
- The controversy revived a July 2026 political row involving Punjab BJP state secretary Renu Kashyap in Dinanagar, where she allegedly discussed deleting 20,000 to 25,000 votes to assist a legislator.
- Former Congress legislator Sanjay Talwar flagged additional entries with incorrect photographs at the same booth, demanding scrutiny across all 235 polling stations in the constituency.
- Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain stated the administration will examine the discrepancy, though the BJP and Election Commission rejected the allegations of voter-list manipulation.
- These events recall claims by Rahul Gandhi, who previously alleged approximately 2.5 million fraudulent entries in Haryana, including a photograph appearing 22 times in electoral records.
