The party’s EAGLE panel cites a net 30 lakh drop from 2024 rolls, questioning missing Form 6 records.

  • The panel alleges more than five lakh duplicate entries remain in the updated rolls.
  • It claims 21.53 lakh additions were reported but only 16.93 lakh Form 6 applications are visible, leaving roughly 4.6 lakh unaccounted.
  • EAGLE says 67.3 lakh deletions occurred, with over a tenth concentrated in 15 Assembly constituencies, and it seeks booth- and category-level details.
