Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav claims the removal of 2.89 crore voters from electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign has triggered infighting within the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Yadav alleges that a significant portion of BJP voters have been deleted, potentially costing the party around 61,000 votes per seat. This assertion follows a meeting of BJP MLAs from the Brahmin community, which Yadav suggests is a symptom of deeper discontent over voter deletions.
