ECI Forced To Admit Its Voter Lists Flawed: Cong
The Daily Guardian
|March 08, 2025
Amid the debate on the voter duplication row in electoral rolls, the Congress on Friday hit back at the Election Commission of India saying that the panel has issued a duplicitous response on the issue of same voter IDs being allotted to multiple voters and it has been forced to admit that its voter lists are flawed and not trustworthy.
Congress' Empowered Action Group of Leaders and Experts (EAGLE) consisting of Ajay Maken, Digvijaya Singh, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Nitin Raut, Praveen Chakravorty, Pawan Khera, Gurdeep Singh Sappal and Vamshi Chandra Reddy made a detailed response to the poll panel.
The Congress' EAGLE in its response stated, "The Election Commission has issued a duplicitous response on the issue of same voter IDs being allotted to multiple voters. The ECI, in its response, hides behind its processes to offer a feeble explanation.
Shockingly but not surprisingly, the ECI has been forced to admit that its voter lists are flawed and not trustworthy."
It said that the Commission, in a letter issued on September 18, 2008 to Chief Electoral Officers of all States, had said that 'voter-IDs are unique'.
