A political confrontation has emerged following allegations regarding discrepancies in the special intensive revision of electoral rolls along the Yamuna riverbank at Bella Estate. The controversy centres on the deletion of 727 names from an electoral register of 729 voters, leaving only one recorded elector following the revision exercise. Concerns were raised regarding whether residents of informal settlements and jhuggis were disqualified despite administrative provisions designating house number zero for homeless citizens. During interactions with the local Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the basis for removing established names from the voter roll was questioned, prompting administrative scrutiny over procedures followed during the drive. Meanwhile, counterarguments pointed to past election results and questioned allegations directed at the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commission of India.

05:17So, leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi continues to insist
05:22that BJP is winning because of what he calls as match fixing by Gyanesh Kumar.
05:27The question the BJP asks, Gyanesh Kumar took over as the CEC on the 19th of February 2025.
05:35He was one of the election commissioners earlier in 2024, 15th March 2024 to be precise.
05:40So, is there merit in the BJP saying?
05:42What explains the Congress getting 44 seats in 2014 when V.S. Sampath appointed in 2012
05:48in the time of Dr. Manmohan Singh was CEC or rising to 99 in 2024?
