Assam Opposition Files FIR Naming BJP State Chief Over Alleged Voter-List Tampering

The complaint cites a January 4 video meeting as evidence of instructions to target non-supporter voters.

Overview

  • The FIR was lodged at Dispur Police Station on January 9 as part of a coordinated action by opposition parties.
  • It names BJP state president Dilip Saikia and alleges misuse of the Special Revision to delete genuine voters with the Election Commission’s collusion.
  • Opposition leaders plan to submit a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer seeking immediate corrective steps and a forensic probe of the video.
  • Congress leaders allege Saikia told party functionaries to identify 5,000–10,000 non-supporter voters per constituency, affecting nearly 60 seats with lists reportedly due by January 12.
  • They also cite procedural lapses in the revision process, including misuse of Forms 6, 7 and 8, and warn of statewide protests and legal action if concerns are not addressed.
