Discrepancies in Ludhiana East Electoral Rolls Prompt Calls for InquiryPreviousNext

In Punjab's Ludhiana East assembly constituency, discrepancies in electoral rolls were flagged after a photograph resembling freedom fighter Bhagat Singh appeared against a voter's entry. Former MLA Sanjay Talwar and Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring called for a thorough inquiry into this and other alleged errors across all polling booths. The issue has revived concerns over voter-list accuracy, echoing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's previous allegations of electoral irregularities in Haryana. Election authorities have been urged to investigate and rectify any discrepancies.
