The Congress party claims that 13 crore voter names have been removed from the electoral register, sparking a political controversy.
Congress has publicly asserted that 13 crore voter names have been deleted from the official electoral roll, raising concerns about the integrity of the voter list.
The party argues that such a large-scale removal could compromise the credibility of upcoming elections and disenfranchise millions of citizens.
In response, Congress leaders have demanded a thorough inquiry and have called on the Election Commission to provide a detailed explanation of the alleged deletions.
As of now, the Election Commission has not issued an official statement addressing the claim.
The controversy adds to ongoing debates over the accuracy and transparency of India's voter registration process.
