In a shocking development that has raised serious questions about electoral integrity, the Delhi Congress president has formally accused authorities of massive vote theft ahead of the crucial Municipal Corporation of Delhi bypolls.
Formal Complaint Filed with Election Commission
The controversy erupted when Delhi Congress president Yadav submitted an official written complaint to the State Election Commissioner on November 23, 2025. The letter details what appears to be a systematic attempt to manipulate the electoral process in one of Delhi's key industrial areas.
According to the allegations, a thorough examination of voter lists has revealed a disturbing pattern that could potentially disenfranchise dozens of legitimate voters in a strategically important constituency.
The Shocking Discovery in Ward 65
The heart of the controversy lies in Ward Number 65, Booth Number 13 located in the Wazirpur Industrial Area. This predominantly labor-class neighborhood has become the epicenter of what the Congress party describes as an organized conspiracy against democratic rights.
Investigation by party workers uncovered that the photograph of a single voter has been duplicated across 91 different entries in the official voters list. This means that one person's image appears against 91 separate voter identities, creating massive potential for electoral manipulation.
The immediate consequence of this duplication is that 90 legitimate voters risk losing their fundamental right to vote, as their identities have been effectively hijacked by this systematic duplication.
Implications for Democratic Process
This discovery raises alarming questions about the integrity of the electoral roll preparation process. The Wazirpur Industrial Area, known for its significant population of industrial workers, represents a crucial demographic that could sway election outcomes.
Yadav has characterized this as a deliberate conspiracy to undermine the democratic rights of ordinary citizens. The timing of this discovery, just ahead of the MCD bypolls, adds significant political weight to the allegations.
The Congress party has demanded immediate intervention from the Election Commission to rectify the voter lists and ensure that no eligible voter is denied their constitutional right. They have also called for a thorough investigation into how such massive duplication could occur in the first place.
As the MCD bypolls approach, this controversy has cast a shadow over the electoral process, with opposition parties demanding transparency and accountability in the management of voter registration systems.
