CM Remark Intended to Spread Fear: Akhilesh Yadav
The BJP is mobilizing workers to restore eligible names after Adityanath said 1.27 crore Hindu voters were missing and Muslim voter share rose 1.65%.
- On Friday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led a major Bharatiya Janata Party organizational meeting in Lucknow to address the alleged deletion of 1.27 crore Hindu voters from electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Revision exercise.
- Adityanath claimed that while a significant number of Hindu voters were excluded, the number of Muslim voters increased by 1.65% during the SIR, which concluded in March this year and saw the state's total electorate shrink to 13.39 crore.
- The BJP mobilized nearly 30-lakh cadres for a month-long door-to-door campaign, targeting 10,000 to 25,000 voters per constituency across all 403 Uttar Pradesh Assembly constituencies to restore eligible names to the rolls.
- Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav dismissed the claims as a "conspiracy" intended to "spread fear in society," questioning how the Chief Minister obtained religion-specific voter data before the Election Commission of India officially released it.
- With draft electoral rolls scheduled for release on November 17, the campaign will intensify ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, aiming to complete voter registration before the final publication on January 4, 2027.
