Delhi SIR Flags 33 Million Voters Including CM Rekha Gupta and Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls flagged 33.1 million voters, including Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and former CM Arvind Kejriwal, for discrepancies such as 'no mapping' with previous rolls or logical inconsistencies. Notices were issued for verification, with Gupta's details validated after document checks. The process, affecting about one-third of Delhi's electorate, has drawn scrutiny and calls for deadline extensions amid concerns over transparency and voter exclusions. Prominent figures across parties, including Kapil Sibal and LK Advani, also received notices.
