Bhagat Singh Photo Error in Ludhiana Voter Roll Corrected Ahead of Final Publication
A photograph resembling freedom fighter Bhagat Singh appeared in Punjab's Ludhiana East draft electoral roll, prompting Congress leaders to question voter-list accuracy and demand wider scrutiny. The Ludhiana district administration clarified the error originated in an earlier roll, was carried into the draft, and has since been corrected during the Special Intensive Revision. The final electoral roll with corrected entries is scheduled for publication on October 12. The issue has revived broader concerns about electoral integrity, including Rahul Gandhi's allegations of irregularities in Haryana.
