Aaditya Thackeray Alleges Duplicate Voter List Issue
Aaditya Thackeray, a leader from the Shiv Sena (UBT) party, said that many people who support the opposition parties in Mumbai have been wrongly listed as duplicate voters.
He thinks the Election Commission might be trying to make it harder for these people to vote.
He gave examples of people whose names appear multiple times in the voter list, including some who have passed away but are still on the list.
He wants the Election Commission to explain this and give more time to fix the voter list.
Aaditya Thackeray alleges 5.86 lakh voters in Mumbai are listed as duplicates, many with common Marathi names.
He claims the Election Commission may be trying to hinder opposition voting by marking legitimate voters as duplicates.
Thackeray provided examples of party members with multiple entries in the voter list, including deceased individuals.
He demanded an explanation from the Election Commission and an extension of the deadline for suggestions and objections.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader threatened large-scale agitation if the issue is not addressed satisfactorily.
