Akhilesh Yadav Alleges Voter List Irregularities, Targets Election Commission
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of bias towards the BJP, alleging multiple entries for individuals in voter lists, including one voter listed ten times in Azamgarh. He questioned the effectiveness of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise and claimed the ECI registers BJP members as voters preferentially. Yadav planned to join a march to the Supreme Court to submit a petition challenging the voter list irregularities and the Chief Election Commissioner.
