BJP planning to manipulate electoral rolls, ‘delete names of 10,000 voters’: Assam MLA
Akhil Gogoi, an MLA from the Raijor Dal, has accused the BJP of planning to manipulate electoral rolls in Assam ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. He claims that top state BJP leaders discussed a plan to delete names of 10,000 voters and add new ones in at least 60 constituencies. Gogoi also alleges that a senior minister is tasked with "correcting" certain assembly seats. The BJP leadership has not responded to Gogoi's allegations, while the Chief Minister has urged the opposition to follow established procedures for raising objections.
