Rahul Gandhi Questions Voter Exclusions in Delhi's Bela Estate During Electoral Roll Revision
Rahul Gandhi visited the Bela Estate JJ cluster in Delhi, where 727 of 728 voters were excluded from the draft electoral roll during the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Gandhi questioned the deletions, highlighting that residents, many displaced by 2023 demolitions, continue to live there and had voted in recent elections. Election officials stated the exclusions were due to demolished homes and that affected voters could reapply via Form 6. The issue has sparked political debate over voter inclusion and rehabilitation.
