The Bharatiya Janata Party announced a campaign to restore Hindu voters whose names were removed from electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, labeling it an "antim mauka" for correction.
New Delhi – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has set a concrete target to reinstate Hindu voters whose names were deleted from the electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh. Party officials described the effort as an "antim mauka" – a final opportunity to correct the roll and ensure eligible citizens can vote.
The announcement was made as the state prepares for the upcoming assembly elections, where voter lists are being scrutinised closely. BJP leaders said they would coordinate with local election officials to identify and rectify the discrepancies.
While the party did not disclose the exact number of affected voters, it pledged to mobilise party workers and use administrative channels to expedite the restoration process before the election schedule is finalised.
Election experts note that any changes to the rolls at this stage could influence voter turnout patterns, especially in constituencies with significant Hindu populations.
The BJP’s move comes amid broader debates on electoral roll accuracy across India, with several parties urging the Election Commission to conduct thorough reviews.
