Akhilesh alleges plotto delete 1 crore votes
LUCKNOW, Feb. 4 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday alleged a "massive conspiracy" by the BJP to delete over 1 crore voters, particularly Muslims, through the misuse of Form 7 during the SIR of electoral rolls in UP.
"We are getting information from various constituencies that the BJP is preparing to misuse Form 7, along with the help of Election Commission, on a large scale. We have given written complaints to the ECI that all the downloaded forms must be verified independently and should come along a hologram for authenticity. Those forging signatures on Form 7 must be investigated and punished. Voters specifically from the Muslim community are being targeted," said Yadav addressing a press conference in Lucknow.
Official figures of the Election Commission revealed that so far around 60,000 Form 7 had been received.
"One of our MLAs has managed to get a pen drive with all the printed Form 7, which were being given to BLOs for name deletion. It seems that the ECI is hand-in-glove with the BJP in this conspiracy. BLOs are in a dilemma and the UP CEO should clarify his role. A senior IAS officer sitting at a top level post is calling officials and directing them to misuse Form 7," alleged the SP chief.
Yadav also said that his party workers at booth level were being targeted by local police and administration in many districts for flagging discrepancies in the SIR process.
