LUCKNOW, Nov. 29 -- A day after announcing Rs.2 lakh ex gratia for the dependents of block-level officers (BLOs) who died during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in UP, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday urged parties within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to unite against what he called the BJP's "conspiracy" to delete votes. "We appeal to all opposition parties and even NDA allies to unite and expose the BJP's massive conspiracy to delete votes. The BJP will destroy those parties that consider it as their ally. We appeal to every citizen of our country to stop all work and resist the SIR fraud," Akhilesh said in a statement. The SP chief said votes were being deleted today, but tomorrow records like land ownership, ration cards, caste certificates, and reservation rights could be targeted. Akhilesh claimed that DMs/district election officers, ADMs (elections), SDMs (EROs) and supervisors were pressuring BLOs to submit voter enumeration forms under the 'Third Option'. htc...
