Punjab Electoral Roll Revision Sparks Dispute Over Missing Names of MPs
Punjab Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha's name was marked as "shifted" in the draft electoral rolls following the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, prompting him to allege political vendetta by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. AAP denied involvement, stating the revision is an Election Commission process and questioned Chadha's residency in Punjab. The controversy widened as Congress MP Dharamvira Gandhi also reported missing names in the draft rolls. The Punjab Chief Electoral Officer confirmed corrections would be made during the claims process.
