Yogi Adityanath claimed that more than one crore Hindu voters were missing from Uttar Pradesh’s assembly electoral rolls. He urged BJP workers to coordinate with election officials and appealed to residents to verify their names.
UP Voter Rolls Omission Claims Raised By Yogi
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed that more than one crore Hindu voters are missing from the state’s assembly electoral rolls.
Speaking at a BJP state working committee meeting, he cited several groups whose names he said were absent. These included around 66 lakh people listed in panchayat electoral rolls and approximately 55 lakh beneficiaries of government welfare schemes.
He also claimed that around 4.5 lakh young people aged 18–19 were missing from the electoral rolls. Does not establish whether these categories overlap or include an independent verification of the figures.
UP Voter Rolls Verification Urged At Every Booth
Adityanath asked BJP workers to examine voter lists at every polling booth and identify eligible residents whose names were missing. He instructed workers to coordinate with Booth Level Officers and help facilitate registration. He also called for regular reviews of the exercise to assess progress.
The Chief Minister said MPs, MLAs and party office-bearers should take responsibility for helping ensure that eligible voters are included. His directions focused on checking individual entries and assisting people who require registration.
UP Voter Rolls Public Appeal To Check Names
Adityanath also appealed to residents to verify whether their names appeared in the electoral rolls and take steps to seek inclusion if they were missing.
His remarks place attention on the accuracy and completeness of voter lists. However, the figures and the religious identification of those allegedly omitted remain claims attributed to the Chief Minister.
The supplied article does not include a response from election authorities explaining the alleged discrepancies. Verification by the relevant officials would be needed to establish the extent of any omissions and distinguish overlapping entries across the categories cited.
