Congress Workers Uncover Alleged Voter Deletion Scheme in Alwar
Congress party members in Alwar made serious allegations on Thursday. They claimed that thousands of voter deletion applications had been submitted in the Alwar Rural assembly constituency. The workers said these applications used Form 7 from the special intensive revision process.
Similar Handwriting Raises Suspicion
The forms reportedly bore names like Sahun, Ramzan, Nawab, and Naser. Congress members pointed out that many forms showed similar handwriting patterns. They also noted that names and serial numbers appeared to be computer-printed rather than handwritten.
Another red flag emerged – most forms lacked applicant phone numbers. This absence made verification difficult according to the protesting workers.
Forms Discovered on Official's Table
Congress representatives stated they found large bundles of these forms. The documents were reportedly lying on the table of Madhav Bhardwaj. He serves as the returning officer for Alwar Rural constituency at the election commission office.
Balram Yadav, the district Congress president, led party workers to Alwar's mini secretariat. They aimed to formally protest what they called a systematic voter deletion attempt.
Officials Leave, Police Arrive
Yadav described an unusual scene at the election office. He said officials and staff members did not respond to their questions. Instead, they allegedly left their seats when Congress workers arrived seeking answers.
Police personnel were subsequently deployed to the location. This development heightened tensions during the protest.
District Collector Dismisses Allegations
The Congress delegation eventually met with District Collector Artika Shukla. She firmly rejected their claims, calling them completely baseless. Shukla explained that anyone can file Form 7 applications for voter deletion.
"The election commission properly verifies all claims before taking any action," Shukla emphasized. She assured that due process would be followed for all deletion requests.
Specific Cases Highlighted
Congress members provided specific examples of what they called suspicious activity:
- In Chandoli gram panchayat, hundreds of Form 7 applications were filed by someone named Naser
- A complete bundle of forms arrived under the name Nawab
- Khareda village showed 530 forms filed in names including Ramzan and others
Conspiracy Allegations Surface
Balram Yadav made explosive claims about the scale of the alleged operation. He said a conspiracy was underway to delete names of over 25,000 Congress supporters. This number applied specifically to Alwar Rural constituency alone.
Yadav directly accused the BJP of orchestrating the scheme. He alleged that BJP-backed individuals were fraudulently filing Form 7 applications. Their supposed goal: removing Congress voters and Muslim community members from electoral rolls.
"Thousands of such forms were found on an official's table," Yadav stated. He expressed frustration that officials refused to answer questions about these documents.
The controversy continues as Congress demands thorough investigation while administration officials maintain proper procedures are being followed.
