Allegations of Electoral Misconduct: Rajasthan's Controversial Voter Roll Revisions

The Congress has accused the BJP of manipulating voter rolls in Rajasthan to remove Congress supporters fraudulently. They demand a forensic investigation into the forms used for these removals. Allegations include forged signatures and pressuring officials, with thousands of forms submitted for name removals in targeted constituencies.

The Congress party has accused the BJP of orchestrating a scheme to fraudulently alter voter rolls in Rajasthan, specifically targeting voters aligned with Congress. These accusations come amid allegations of forged forms and coercion of local election officials.

According to Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra, the removal of names from the rolls disproportionately impacts Congress supporters. He highlighted instances where thousands of forms were submitted in key constituencies, often with forged signatures purportedly representing Booth Level Officers.

In response to these claims, the Congress is calling for a comprehensive forensic investigation into the forms' legitimacy and origin, urging the Election Commission and the Supreme Court to intervene. The BJP has countered, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
