Jaipur, Nov. 20 -- A political slugfest erupted in Rajasthan on Wednesday after a video of a heated argument between voters and a booth-level-officer (BLO) in Jaipur's Jhotwara went viral in which the former accused the latter of arbitrarily marking them "absent" without visiting their houses to distribute the enumeration form. The incident took place at ward number 33 under Jhotwara's Raghunathpuri. In the purported video, a voter was heard saying, "How did you remove my name from the list? You didn't even visit my house to distribute the EF. Do you have any target to remove names in this way? You are working to finish this country. How many times did you visit my place?." In response, the woman defended herself saying that she visited his house but he was not there. "However, I will remove the names (marking 'absent') of the ones who will not come to take the EF from my office later," she told the man. Enraged with her response, he continued accusing her of escalating the argument. Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday reacted sharply to the viral video in which residents accused a woman BLO of skipping their homes and removing their names from the voter list. Calling it a "serious issue," Gehlot squarely blamed the Election Commission (EC), alleging that the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise had been mishandled from the start. Gehlot said the EC should have consulted all parties and ensured the electoral rolls were transparent, with no fake names added and no genuine voters deleted. Referring to reported suicides linked to SIR pressure in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bengal, Gehlot questioned why such a situation had arisen. He claimed doubts persisted that "specific communities" were being targeted, adding that the EC's approach "does not appear fair." However, the election department issued an official statement saying that the BLO visited the particular voter's house twice but they were not present. As per the rules, she will visit them third and last time this week....
