The political controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Uttar Pradesh has intensified. Congress MP Ujjwal Raman Singh has expressed concern over the issue of around 1.27 crore voters’ names being deleted in the state. He said the figure came to light after a statement by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Earlier, the chief minister had claimed that the names of 1.27 crore Hindu voters were missing from Uttar Pradesh’s voter list. The BJP has also submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission in this regard.
Seat formula in SP-Congress alliance
Ujjwal Raman Singh also clarified the position on the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance for the upcoming 2027 Assembly elections. According to him, the basis for seat-sharing in the alliance will be the possibility of winning. Whichever party is stronger on a seat and has a higher chance of victory will contest from there. In other words, winning capacity will be prioritised over the number of seats.
Talks continue on seat-sharing
Ahead of elections to Uttar Pradesh’s 403 Assembly seats, discussions are underway between the SP and the Congress over seat-sharing. Reports have emerged of the Congress staking claim to more seats, while the SP leadership has said the final decision will be taken after talks between the top leaders of both parties.
The issue of names being deleted from the voter list and the alliance strategy are both becoming important political questions in the state ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
