Some citizens who patiently waited in long queues to cast their votes for the Lok Sabha elections on Friday, April 26, in Bengaluru were disheartened to find that their names were either absent or deleted from the electoral rolls — a problem that the city has reported in the previous elections too.
Citizens in Chickpet and Akkipet of Bengaluru Central constituency have alleged that hundreds of names were deleted from the voter list. “Last year during the Assembly election, our names were on the voters’ list and we successfully voted. But, on Friday we came to the booth to vote and were shocked to find our names deleted without verification,” a voter alleged.
