DMK Condemns 65 Lakh Voter Deletions in Bihar as Anti-Democratic 'Vote Theft'

Accusing the Election Commission and central government of political bias, the DMK demands transparent voter-list verification before polling.

Overview

  • At a Chennai meeting chaired by M. K. Stalin, DMK district secretaries passed a resolution labeling Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision that removed 65 lakh names an anti-democratic act.
  • The resolution cited a Supreme Court warning against mass deletions without due process and warned the actions undermined a level playing field ahead of elections.
  • The DMK accused the Election Commission of acting in concert with the BJP after changes to its commissioner selection panel and condemned the detention of INDIA bloc MPs, including Rahul Gandhi.
  • It called on the ECI to finalize voter rolls transparently before the model code of conduct by deleting only deceased voters, improving coordination with Booth Level Officers, issuing manuals in regional languages, and accepting multiple proofs of residence.
  • The Election Commission asked Rahul Gandhi to submit an oath-sworn complaint on alleged voter-list irregularities—a request he rejected—and the BJP has denied any collusion or bias.
