Akhilesh Yadav alleges EC did not follow rules in voters’ list for UP assembly polls

UP, 29/10: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has alleged that the Election Commission did not follow rules while preparing the voters’ list in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls earlier this year.

He alleged that there is a “conspiracy” by the BJP government to suppress the voice of the opposition.

“Had the Election Commission followed rules regarding electoral roll in 2022 Assembly elections, thousands of voters would not have been deprived of voting,” Yadav said during a meeting held to discuss preparations for the civic body polls here, according to a press statement issued on Friday.
