Data Analysis Suggests Voter Suppression in Kundarki Bye-Poll

Data Analysis Suggests Voter Suppression in Kundarki Bye-Poll

In an election in Kundarki, Uttar Pradesh, some voters, mainly Muslims, reported that they were prevented from voting.

Data shows fewer Muslims voted than usual in the bye-poll compared to the Lok Sabha election.

The winning party, BJP, got a much larger vote share than before.

Voter turnout dropped in areas with more Muslim voters.

Analysis suggests more Muslim voters were removed from the rolls, potentially influencing the election.
