Delhi BJP Backs Intensive Voter List Revision Amidst Accusations

The Delhi BJP has openly supported the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the national capital's voter list, a move announced by the Delhi chief electoral officer. This announcement followed the BJP's longstanding commitment to maintaining a credible voter list, which party officials claim has been compromised by opposition parties.

According to Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, both the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress have contributed to voter list inaccuracies over the past two decades. Allegations against these parties include the fraudulent registration of fake votes. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also accused Congress of attempting to secure election victories through the votes of infiltrators.

Sachdeva emphasized the BJP's mission to preserve the authenticity of Delhi's electoral roll. The introduction of the SIR involves a meticulous process anchored to the 2002 voter list. This measure is seen as a crucial step to rectify voter list discrepancies, which have showed significant and contentious growth during previous elections.
