Delhi SIR Flags Over 3 Million Voters Including CM Rekha Gupta, Kejriwal for Verification
Delhi's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls flagged over 3.16 million voters, including Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, for discrepancies such as 'no mapping' with previous rolls and logical inconsistencies. Notices were issued requiring document verification. Gupta's age-related discrepancy was resolved after verification, while Kejriwal and family must provide additional details. The Election Commission is conducting hearings and plans to finalize the electoral roll by November 4, amid calls for greater transparency and deadline extensions.
