Election Commission Confirms Patiala MP Dharamvir Gandhi Included in Draft Electoral Rolls Amid Dispute
Reports emerged that Congress MP Dharamvir Gandhi and his family were missing from Punjab's draft electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Gandhi claimed their names were omitted despite residing at the same address for years and submitted documents to rectify this. The Election Commission countered these claims, confirming that Gandhi and his family members are included in the draft electoral roll published on August 13, 2026. Officials noted discrepancies in Gandhi's earlier electoral roll details but had not yet responded to his case.
