Congress Raises Concerns Over Voter List Irregularities in Uttarakhand SIR Drive
A Congress delegation led by Kumari Selja petitioned the Election Commission alleging irregularities in Uttarakhand's SIR voter list drive, including wrongful deletions of eligible voters, false absentee and deceased markings, and unreceived notices. The Congress accused the BJP of manipulating electoral rolls and criticized the Election Commission for inaction and lack of transparency. The party linked these issues to broader allegations of vote manipulation in other states, while the Election Commission's response remains unreported.
