Congress leader Dr Ragini Nayak on Saturday accused the BJP-led government of trying to keep young and first-time voters out of electoral rolls by allegedly stopping the Special Summary Revision (SSR) process. Addressing a Congress party briefing at the AICC office in New Delhi, Nayak targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that he was acting as a “puppet” of government.
Nayak alleged that the move had created doubts about the electoral process and accused the government of attempting “vote chori” and “election chori”. She questioned why registration camps for new voters were being organised while, according to her, the SSR process had been stopped.
