Opposition parties in Assam have filed a police complaint and a memorandum to the Election Commission, alleging a conspiracy by the ruling BJP to delete names of genuine voters from electoral rolls ahead of assembly elections. They claim state BJP president Dilip Saikia instructed party MLAs and minister Ashok Singhal to remove "anti-BJP voters" in 60 constituencies. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rejected the allegations, stating the voter list revision is a regular process and the final list is not yet published. The opposition seeks evidence from a video conference as part of their complaint.
