Former Union Minister Kapil Sibal has publicly disputed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's assertion that 1.27 crore Hindu voters were deleted from the electoral rolls, demanding clarification from the state government.
The Uttar Pradesh government has recently claimed that 1.27 crore Hindu voters were removed from the electoral rolls, a figure that has drawn scrutiny from opposition leaders. Former Union Minister Kapil Sibal took to the floor of the Lok Sabha to challenge the authenticity of the data, arguing that the numbers were inflated and lacked transparency. Sibal demanded that the state government provide a detailed audit of the voter removal process and the criteria used to identify the affected voters. No official response from the Yogi Adityanath administration has been released as of yet, leaving the matter unresolved ahead of the upcoming state elections.
