CM Bommai refutes claims of voter's names being deleted from electoral list
Dharwad: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has refuted the claims that voters from minority communities are deleted from the voters’ list following unofficial surveys conducted across the state, calling such statements false.
Addressing reporters at the Hubballi Airport on Friday, the chief minister said, “The State Election Commission is already looking into the matter, including making corrections in the voters’ list. The Central Election Commission has also expressed concern.”
He further said, “Such complaints require an immediate investigation by concerned officials. There have been instances of unauthenticated addition of names in the voters’ list. Some voters are learned to have cards of two constituencies. The Commission needs to find all such cases.”
The chief minister added, “Under no circumstances should the eligible voters be denied a chance to cast vote. The Commission should ensure this too.”
Referring to the incident of a Kannadiga being assaulted in the backdrop of the Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute, Bommai said that the police commissioner has been told to investigate the matter. “Legal action will be taken against the guilty parties as soon as we get the report on the incident,” he added.
The chief minister also said that the citizen was not assaulted by a police officer. The matter will be investigated and further action taken with discretion, he assured.
