More than 2.06 crore electors, accounting for 21.14 per cent of Maharashtra’s previous voter base, have not figured in the draft electoral roll following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the Chief Electoral Officer said .
As reported by PTI, The draft roll currently has more than 7.71 crore voters (78.86 per cent of the previous electorate), comprising 3.95 crore men, 3.75 crore women, and 3,087 third-gender voters, according to state election authorities.
As many as 2,06,88,487 people have not been included, as their enumeration forms were uncollectable because they were either untraceable, deceased, or had shifted residences, they said. Before the SIR, Maharashtra had 9.78 crore voters, of whom 78.86 per cent made it to the draft roll.
Pune recorded the highest number of uncollectable enumeration forms at 28.6 lakh, followed by Thane with 28.5 lakh, Mumbai Suburban with 26.5 lakh, Nagpur (14.43 lakh), Nashik (10.27 lakh) and Mumbai City (9.5 lakh), officials said.
Reacting to the news, Leader of Oppostion, Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote on X, “The BJP and the ‘Vote Chori Aayog’ keep changing their tactics, and they will continue to do so – the goal remains just one: BJP’s victory at any cost, and the end of India’s democracy,” the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said in a post in Hindi on X.
भाजपा और ‘वोट चोरी आयोग’ के तरीके बदलते रहते हैं, और बदलते रहेंगे – मकसद बस एक ही है: किसी भी क़ीमत पर BJP की जीत, और भारत के लोकतंत्र का अंत।
महाराष्ट्र 2024 – लोकसभा और विधानसभा चुनाव के बीच अचानक 39 लाख नए वोटर जुड़ गए। मैंने तब भी कहा था, आज भी कहता हूँ: यह वोट चोरी थी।…
