Uttar Pradesh Voter List Revision Sparks Political Clash Between CM Yogi and Akhilesh Yadav
A major political debate has erupted in Uttar Pradesh over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state’s electoral rolls (). Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that nearly 1.27 crore Hindu voters have gone missing from the updated voter list, while Muslim voter numbers saw a 1.65% increase. He also noted that millions of citizens registered on panchayat rolls and welfare schemes remain excluded from the Election Commission’s final registry.
Responding sharply, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav questioned how the Chief Minister obtained religion-specific deletion data, raising concerns over whether election authorities shared confidential records with the state government. To ensure fair polls, Yadav proposed linking Aadhaar with voting, introducing tamper-proof metal voter cards, and adopting biometric verification. Meanwhile, Shivpal Yadav also criticized the ruling party, placing the revision process under intense scrutiny ahead of upcoming elections.
