Congress leader Gandhi visits Delhi slum, raises voter deletion concerns

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited a settlement in Delhi on Tuesday to draw attention to what he described as suspicious deletions from voter registration lists in the area.

During the visit, Gandhi pointed out that the voter roll for the locality contained only a single registered voter, with other names allegedly struck off the list. He suggested that residents had already exercised their voting rights in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the ongoing Delhi Assembly election preparations.

The development adds to growing concerns raised by opposition parties regarding voter roll management ahead of Delhi's 2025 Assembly elections. Gandhi's visit appeared designed to highlight potential irregularities that could affect electoral participation in the state capital.

The Congress has been vocal about issues related to voter registration and electoral processes in recent months. The visit underscores the party's focus on grassroots engagement and accountability in electoral administration as the Delhi elections approach.
