TMC MP Alleges Voter Roll Manipulation in Assam Before 2026 Polls
A politician named Sushmita Dev says that lots of people might get their names removed from the voter list in Assam before the next election.
She thinks the government is doing the same thing they did in Bihar, where many people's names were taken off the list.
She also says the government is targeting Bengali speakers when they look for people who are in the country illegally.
Dev wants the opposition parties to work together to beat the ruling party in the next election.
TMC MP Sushmita Dev claims 30-40 lakh voters may be deleted from Assam's rolls before 2026 polls.
Dev alleges the Election Commission is replicating Bihar's electoral roll revision process in other states.
She criticizes the 'crackdown' on illegal Bangladeshis, claiming Bengalis are being targeted.
Dev says BJP is resorting to voter deletion as its support declines, especially in Assam.
Dev urges Congress to lead opposition unity to defeat BJP in Assam.
