UP Voter Roll Dispute: Yogi Adityanath's Claim Sparks Political Debate Ahead of 2027 Elections
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claimed 1.27 crore Hindu voters are missing from the state's electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The BJP has launched a campaign to re-enroll omitted voters. Opposition leaders, including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, have questioned the claim's basis, alleging it spreads fear and accusing the BJP of planning to register outsiders as voters. The Election Commission's role and the methodology behind the figures remain contested amid political tensions ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
