Overview
- Five parties — Congress, Raijor Dal, AJP, CPI(M) and CPI(ML)L — lodged a complaint in Dispur accusing BJP state chief Dilip Saikia of directing deletions in 60 constituencies and naming minister Ashok Singhal to oversee the effort.
- Raijor Dal separately petitioned the Election Commission seeking seizure of the January 4 video-conference records, an independent inquiry, an audit of Form 7 objections and a pause to the Special Revision.
- Dispur police confirmed receipt of the opposition complaint and said the matter is being examined, while reports differed on whether an FIR had been formally registered.
- The BJP and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rejected the allegations as baseless, saying all parties can use Forms 6, 7 and 8 during revision and that the final rolls are not yet published.
- Opposition leaders flagged instances of alleged irregularities, including unfamiliar names listed at Guwahati addresses and deletions of long-time voters, as the claims-and-objections window continues with final rolls due in February.
