1.27 Crore Hindu Voters Missing? Yogi Adityanath-Akhilesh Yadav Clash Over UP SIR

The political battle over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh is intensifying, with the BJP and Opposition trading allegations over voter deletions. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claims 1.27 crore Hindu voters are missing and challenges Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to demand a rollback of the exercise. Akhilesh questions the source of Yogi's figures, alleges the Election Commission shared data with the Chief Minister's office first and calls for Aadhaar-linked voting and biometric verification. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal also targets the Election Commission, while the Congress alleges large-scale irregularities, demands an immediate halt to SIR and seeks Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.
