Rahul Gandhi Raises Concerns Over Voter Exclusions in Delhi's Bela EstatePreviousNext

Rahul Gandhi visited the Bela Estate JJ cluster in Delhi, where nearly all residents' names were excluded from the draft electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The residents, many displaced by 2023 demolitions but still living locally, had submitted forms for inclusion. Gandhi criticized the exclusion as unjustified, emphasizing that housing status should not affect voting rights. He engaged with officials and urged residents to meet him to discuss rehabilitation and electoral inclusion.
