Akhilesh Yadav Accuses Election Commission of Bias in UP Voter Roll

Akhilesh Yadav accuses the Election Commission of collaborating with the BJP to remove PDA voters from Uttar Pradesh's electoral roll using Form-7. Yadav claims political bias, targeting backward classes, Dalits, and minorities. He suggests using AI to verify forms and protect voter integrity amidst concerns of electoral fraud.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has raised serious allegations against the Election Commission of India, claiming collusion with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to strike off PDA voters from the electoral roll in Uttar Pradesh.

Citing the use of Form-7, which facilitates voter name deletion, Yadav expressed concerns that these actions seem politically motivated, targeting PDA communities—backward classes, Dalits, and minorities.

In response to what he describes as a conspiracy to dilute opposition votes, Yadav calls for artificial intelligence applications to ensure authenticity and fairness in the electoral process, urging the Election Commission to scrutinize submitted forms rigorously.
