Sanjay Singh (Aam Aadmi Party MP) has expressed serious concerns regarding discrepancies in the final voter list for Uttar Pradesh, which was revised following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive. He highlighted a significant difference between the voter lists used for the Panchayat and Assembly elections, questioning the integrity of the electoral process. The revised electoral roll, published on April 10, shows a total of 133,984,792 voters, including 73,071,061 male and 60,909,525 female voters, reflecting an increase of 8,428,767 from the previous draft published on January 6. However, there are 2.22 crore logical discrepancies and 1.04 crore non-matching voters. The timing of these revisions raises concerns, particularly as assembly elections are scheduled for next year, prompting criticism from opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party, which accused the ruling BJP of attempting to manipulate the voter lists.
