US EditionBJP, ECI Plan to Delete over 50,000 Votes in Seats Won by INDIA Bloc, SP in 2024: Akhilesh
Akhilesh Yadav claims BJP and Election Commission aim to delete over 50,000 voters per opposition-held Assembly seat, urging verification amid ongoing electoral roll revisions.
- On November 22, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Election Commission of conspiring to delete more than 50,000 voters in each Assembly segment where his party and the INDIA bloc performed strongly.
- Pointing to electoral data, Yadav noted the BJP won 255 seats in 2022 but led in only 162 segments in 2024, while SP led in 183 in last year's elections.
- Yadav played an audio recording purportedly of a sub‑divisional magistrate discussing SIR technical issues, named his Kannauj constituency a 'target', and said prior complaints went unaddressed while raising poll panel concerns.
- Yadav demanded the Election Commission issue a standard operating procedure for SIR, sought more time for the voter roll cleanup in Uttar Pradesh, and urged Samajwadi Party workers to verify lists and report irregularities.
- There are 414 days left for elections, Yadav warned that after the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, deleted voters contributed to the Samajwadi Party's failure to form government.
