Rahul Gandhi Visits JJ Cluster in Bela Estate, Questions Deletion of Voters’ Names From SIR Draft Roll
Gandhi said the deletions stripped homeless residents of their voting rights and called the roll purge a method of vote theft.
- On Monday, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi visited Bela Estate in Delhi, targeting The Election Commission over the deletion of 727 voter names, calling it a "method of vote theft."
- Gandhi argued that while CEC Gyanesh Kumar designated House Number 0 for the homeless, the Special Intensive Revision process removed 727 residents from electoral rolls despite this provision.
- Visiting the area, the Leader of Opposition said he interacted with residents to understand their grievances and told the SDM, "having a house or not has no connection to the right to vote."
- The Indian Express reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected to revision decisions, though the Commission claimed it acted with "unanimous approval" on Saturday.
- Earlier, Gandhi accused CEC Gyanesh Kumar of "match-fixing elections," citing a report that Kumar allegedly approached Keralam Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson to contest for the BJP in 2019.
