Jharkhand Electoral Roll Revisions Spark Dispute Over Voter Deletions
In Jharkhand's Godda district, BJP Booth Level Agents have submitted numerous Form 7 applications seeking deletion of voters, many from minority communities, during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Booth Level Officers at several booths have rejected these forms, citing procedural issues and lack of proper format, following instructions from local officials. The Election Commission mandates inquiries before any deletion, ensuring voters' rights are protected. This has led to a dispute between BJP workers and election officials, now under review by the Chief Electoral Officer.
