Uttar Pradesh's draft electoral roll shows 2.89 crore deletions following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR), prompting opposition parties like the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress to allege a 'hasty exercise' and 'large-scale omission' of voters. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP of trying to create fake votes and urged citizens to verify their names. The Election Commission (EC) refuted these claims, stating BLAs were informed and extensions were requested. The ruling BJP has launched a drive to enroll at least 200 new voters per booth, aiming to add over 3.5 crore genuine voters before the final list publication on March 6.
