Gorakhpur Voter List Scandal: 233 Voters Registered at Single Address
- •A major irregularity found in Gorakhpur's draft voter list, with 233 individuals registered at a single address (House No. 617) in Ward No. 16.
- •The list includes names from Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh communities, raising concerns about data accuracy and potential linking of entire area's residents to one address.
- •Local BJP councilor Rishi Mohan Verma highlighted that House No. 617 does not exist in Ward No. 16, suggesting incorrect linking from other wards and constituencies.
- •Despite 6.45 lakh names being removed after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), this error persisted, disappointing residents who had hoped for corrections.
- •Residents are now forced to re-fill enumeration forms for corrections, while the incident has drawn criticism on social media and from figures like former Navy Chief Admiral Arun Prakash (retd).
Why It Matters: A significant error in Gorakhpur's voter list shows 233 voters at one address, raising serious concerns about data integrity.
