Samajwadi Party Raises Questions Over Voter List Errors Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections

Before the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, once again the Samajwadi Party has raised questions on the voter list. Party's national president Akhilesh Yadav alleged that after the SIR, the errors in the voter list have increased instead of decreasing. The party has claimed that the names of duplicate voters have been registered in four assembly seats of Basti and the information of the second voter has come in the online check of the EPIC number in Pilibhit. SP president Akhilesh Yadav appreciated the PDA guards who helped the voters during the SIR. He said that on 24 October also all the PDA sentries have been active and asked to help the voters as much as possible. Akhilesh appealed to the party leaders and workers to be alert at their booths, prevent the addition of fake voters and help in the inclusion of real voters in the list. Also, the party has accused the SDM Shyam Lal Pal of pressuring the officials to vote in favour of the BJP in the 11 seats of the Legislative Council.
