"On the instructions of Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav, Samajwadi Party State President Naresh Uttam Patel has written a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi regarding the removal of duplicate names from the voter list for preventing fake voting from them," the party said.
The party demands that the period of voters' list revision should be extended from November 30 to December 31 so that the identification of duplicate voters can be done by Samajwadi Party workers at every polling booth, it said.
Despite the removal of duplicate voters by the Election Commission, a large number of such voters still exist which is the matter of concern, it added.
