But Alankar village accountant said that “As they have directions from the higher ups to delete the names of those who were not there in their residence for the last six months, from the voters list. This time, they cannot vote. Their names would be included in the voters list and next time, they could vote”, he added.
But irked by this development, a lady from the family asked ‘As to why their names were deleted from the list? I have ration card and Aadhar card. Moreover, we have never applied for deletion of our names from the voters list. How did you remove our names? Who has signed for this? I would complaint to the tahsildar and if I don’t get justice, I would go to court”, she warned.
