Sibal Accuses Election Commission of Manipulating Electoral Rolls

The Election Commission of India is checking and updating voter lists.

Kapil Sibal said he and his wife received notices during this process.

He said his name was already on the draft list and questioned why he was asked to explain his details.

Sibal argued that ordinary people may find it even harder to respond to such notices.

He accused officials of removing some real voters and adding people who should not be on the list.

He also questioned whether elections are meaningful if the process is designed to keep one party in power.

Election officials said several prominent people received notices because of discrepancies in their forms.

Officials also said Rekha Gupta’s entry was validated and that her name would remain on the final list.

The final electoral roll for her constituency is scheduled to be published on November 4.
