The Election Commission has rejected the opposition's allegation of tampering with the voter list. Sources associated with the Election Commission said that only 89 appeals were made for correction in the voter list. The opposition's allegation is absolutely wrong. The allegations made by the opposition were without any facts.
Election Commission gave this argument
The Election Commission says that names are added and deleted from the voter list before elections. If a person has died or does not live in the relevant place or has changed his constituency, then the name of such people is deleted from the list. The Commission adds new eligible voters to the list in a fair and transparent manner. Duplicate and dead voters are removed from the list.
89 appeals were filed in Maharashtra
According to sources, only 89 appeals were filed in Maharashtra. While there were 13,857,359 booth level agents (BLAs) in the country. Only 89 appeals were filed for changes in the voter list. Sources said that if someone says that the voter list on the basis of which voting has taken place is not correct then he has not read the election law proposed by the government in 1961 and passed by Parliament in 1961.
With Bihar and other states due to go to polls in the next few months, the issue is likely to be raised further by opposition parties. But the Election Commission, which has earlier said that duplication of EPIC numbers does not mean "duplicate/fake voters", stands by its word and has released data to prove its point.
Rahul Gandhi had made a serious allegation
Let us tell you that during the winter session of Parliament, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had appealed for a detailed discussion on the voter list. Congress and its allies had alleged discrepancies in the voter list in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi had alleged that about 30 lakh voters have been added to the voter list of Maharashtra from 2019 to 2024.
