Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran LK Advan i, former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia , and BJP MLA Kailash Gahlot are among those who received notices for “discrepancies” during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the national Capital, officials said.
The office of the Delhi chief electoral officer (CEO) late on Friday published the list of electors served notices, nearly three weeks after the draft electoral roll of voters in the city was released on August 31. Advani, his daughter Pratibha Advani, and his daughter-in-law Geetika have been issued notices for ‘no mapping’, voters who could not be linked with the electoral roll from the previous revision. Gahlot, former minister in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and presently a BJP MLA, was also flagged for no mapping. His wife Moushumi Mishra Gahlot and elder daughter Jahnavi Gahlot were also served notices for the same discrepancy. Former deputy CM Manish Sisodia, a voter in the New Delhi assembly constituency, was issued a notice, but the reason was not specified. His wife, Seema, and son, Meer, are also on the list. His wife has been flagged for a self-name mismatch, while Meer has been flagged for a parent-name mismatch. I intend to take it up, perhaps file a case in the Supreme Court.
Reacting to the development, Swamy, in a post on X, said, “It is surprising that Election Commission officials are under pressure to delete my name from the voter list. Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta and Kejriwal were among more than 3.16 million voters served notices for “discrepancies” .
