Samajwadi Party supremo claims BJP leaders already knew how many voters will be removed form draft electoral rolls
Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav Saturday claimed that Uttar Pradesh BJP leaders knew how many voters would be removed from the SIR draft electoral roll even before it was published, and questioned the poll panel’s “credibility”.
The draft electoral roll for Uttar Pradesh after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise was published January 6. In it, 2.89 crore voters excluded and 12.55 crore retained out of 15.44 crore listed earlier.
Speaking to reporters in Lucknow Saturday, Yadav said he was apprehensive about removal of three crore voters.
“However, even before the draft voter list was released, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said that approximately four crore votes were going to be removed,” the former UP chief minister said.
