Names of almost one lakh voters were missing from the voting list in Coimbatore, alleged K. Annamalai, Tamil Nadu BJP president, and the party’s candidate for the Coimbatore constituency.
Listing a few such instances, Mr. Annamalai told presspersons late on Friday, April 19, 2024, the day of the polls, that nearly 850 names were missing at the Angappa School polling station and about 200 names were missing at a polling station at Theppakulam.
“We do not know under what logic the names were removed. This also raises questions about the pre-poll preparedness of the Election Commission. This is a planned and mass-scale deletion of names,” he said.
