The Congress party has claimed that a large number of applications to delete voter names are currently being processed in Uttarakhand, raising concerns over the integrity of the electoral roll.
According to statements from Congress leaders, the party has become aware that a substantial volume of applications seeking removal of voter names from the electoral roll are being processed in Uttarakhand. The party alleges that these bulk deletions could affect the composition of the voter list.
Congress has urged the Election Commission of India and the state election authorities to scrutinise the pending applications and ensure that any deletions are justified and free from political influence. The party has called for transparency in the verification process.
No official response from the Election Commission or the state election office has been recorded at the time of reporting. The matter is expected to be examined further as the authorities review the applications.
