New Delhi: The political storm over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Uttar Pradesh has intensified. Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and offered advance congratulations to Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav. Kejriwal’s remark came after Yogi Adityanath’s statement in which he claimed that the names of a large number of Hindu voters had disappeared from the voter list after the SIR process.
On Monday, Kejriwal shared a video of an interview of Yogi Adityanath on social media platform X and wrote that Maharaj ji, you too know that the Election Commission does what those two people say. I had warned you earlier as well. These two are bent on finishing you. He then congratulated Akhilesh Yadav in advance. However, Kejriwal did not specify the names of those two people in his post.
Yogi raises questions over voter list Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed that after the SIR, the names of about 66 lakh such voters were not found in the voter list, of whom nearly 55 lakh are Hindu voters who are beneficiaries of government schemes. He also raised the issue of the names of around 4.5 lakh voters in the 18 and 19 age group being missing. Yogi said the state government has submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission in this regard and sought clarification.
Akhilesh also raises questions over electoral process Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav had demanded the implementation of Aadhaar-linked identification, metal voter IDs and fingerprint- or iris-based biometric verification in the voting system. He says this could help curb electoral irregularities. The statements of the three leaders over SIR have increased political activity in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the upcoming Assembly election.
