Names of minority community people ‘deliberately deleted’ from voter rolls during Odisha SIR: BJD
BHUBANESWAR: Odisha's opposition BJD on Monday alleged that names of people belonging to minority communities were being deliberately deleted from the electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and demanded stringent action against officials involved in such “irregularities”.
In a memorandum to Odisha’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), the party submitted "evidence" in support of its allegations, BJD senior vice-president Debi Prasad Mishra said.
Cases of irregularities have been reported from Dhamnagar Notified Area Council (NAC) in Bhadrak district, he claimed.
