Opposition groups and activists allege that the recent voter-roll revision by the election commission has disproportionately excluded millions of eligible voters, claiming the move is politically motivated to strengthen the position of the ruling government. Critics argue the changes disproportionately affect marginalized communities, raising concerns about democratic fairness ahead of upcoming elections. Authorities have yet to provide a detailed explanation for the removals, leaving many questioning the transparency of the process. The controversy has intensified calls for an independent review of the voter list updates.
Protesters say the election commission’s voter-roll revision has removed millions of eligible voters to benefit PM Modi.
