The Congress party in Madhya Pradesh accused the Election Commission of India of not doing its job properly.

A former chief minister, Digvijaya Singh, said there are many mistakes in the voter lists, like one house having 108 voters.
He wants the officials responsible to be punished.
The Congress party also had a meeting where they discussed how to fix these mistakes and make sure party leaders are appointed properly.
They will check and update the voter lists from December 9 to January 31.
