Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has raised concerns over the draft voter list released after Uttar Pradesh's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. He alleges a conspiracy by the BJP government and questions the Election Commission's impartiality, claiming names of voters, particularly from PDA communities, are being deliberately removed. Yadav cited discrepancies in voter numbers and highlighted that BJP leaders, including the Chief Minister, appeared to know the extent of deletions in advance, questioning the ECI's credibility.
