BJP conspiring to include fake voters to impact 2027 UP assembly polls: Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow, Nov 13 (UNI) Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list and has questioned how the CM knew that 1.27 crore Hindu votes have been deleted during SIR in Uttar Pradesh.
Yadav said that if the names of 1.27 crore Hindu voters are indeed missing, then the BJP is strategizing about votes that have been removed from the voter list due to people moving to other locations or having fake names registered.
Commenting on Rahul Gandhi's phone tapping charges, Akhilesh Yadav said, "I fear that the police have disguised themselves as journalists and were present here. I once caught one in this very room. Netaji ( Mulayam) once held a press conference saying that his phone was being tapped, so it could be true. Anything is possible these days."
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, SP President claimed that the BJP is preparing to enroll people from other states, including Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, to register them as voters. He alleged that the plan is to include people whose names are not registered.
The SP president questioned the BJP and the party's strategy regarding the voter list revision.
"What kind of collusion is there between the government and the Election Commission that the opposition is unaware of anything, while the Chief Minister is aware that 12.7 million votes were rejected. If we consider the vote count, the BJP lost 31,000 votes in each assembly constituency," he said.
He alleged that the BJP is preparing to create disturbances even on polling day. "Their plan is to chase you away as soon as you go to cast your vote. They will tell you that your vote is not there. Then you will be left searching for the booth where your vote is."
SP president said, "Currently, postings are taking place in such a way that even the Election Commission will not remove officers. It appears these postings are being done with the Election Commission's consent. There are preparations to rob the entire election".
Talking about his proposed Ayodhya visit on December 12, Yadav said, Pawan Pandey had informed the party of the date for his visit to the Ram Temple. "Pawan Pandey had consulted several astrologers and obtained the planetary positions, so I will visit the Ram Temple on December 12, the date indicated by the astrologers."
He alleged that Azam Khan has been framed by the BJP and a conspiracy has been hatched against him and false cases have been filed. The ED is investigating his educational institution, but the tender worth Rs 17,500 crore is not being investigated.
"We and the Congress are ready for the elections. The day the election date is set, the BJP will be defeated. We welcome the Samajik Parivartan Morcha of Chandrashekhar and Owaisi. There must be change in society. We will strive to reach the public with whatever voice the PDA raises for society."
