Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi on Monday alleged that the deletion of names from electoral rolls was against the principles of the Constitution and the country’s electoral process, and said that the Congress would continue its protest over the issue.Priyanka Gandhi said that the deletions were a matter of serious concern and alleged that the public had now realised that elections were being manipulated.
“It’s very clear that these deletions that have taken place are against everything our Constitution and our electoral process stand for.
It’s extremely clear. We are protesting against that. The public has now realised that the elections are being manipulated, and we will continue our protest,” She said.
Gandhi’s remarks come amid the recent observation made by the Supreme Court over the change in Form 6, and a wider political dispute in Karnataka over the use of Form-7 for voter deletions during the ongoing SIR exercise.
