60 Lakh voters Name Missing In Maharashtra Voters List
IN A shocking revelation that could impact election results, the names of nearly 60 lakh voters have been deleted or diverted across Maharashtra. The deletion was done mainly because the voters were currently not residing in the area in which they were originally registered, a Slate election commission official said here Saturday on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile State Chief Electoral officer Nitin Gadre told IANS : "These are not missing names. The deletions were done six months ago as per the legal process."
Gadre said the revised lists were given to all political parties with suitable publicity at local levels by District Collectors and the new lists have been available on the State Election Commission website for the past six months.
Among the names deleted are those of new and potential first-time voters in die State's 48 constituencies as they are presently not residents in their respective areas of voting. The issue came to the fore after there were a large number of complaints of names "missing" from voters lists in places like Nagpur, Amravati and recently Pune irking candidates of all major political parlies who also protested or complained about it.The Stale Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that around 1,00,000 voters' names have been deleted from Pune and as many new voters from other areas have been added to that constituency. A BJP delegation called on the election authorities Saturday and demanded fresh election in Pune.
Among those whose names arc missing is Bollywood actor-producer-director Amol Palekar. who lodged a 'missing name' complaint with Pune police on Saturday.
His complaint has been forwarded to the State poll panel for further action, an official said.
There were also reports of voters' names missing from Aurangabad, Ralnagiri and Thane. hut poll panel officials denied it.
