Goa Opposition flags voter deletion, seeks immediate inclusion of 97 names

Goa’s Opposition parties have demanded the immediate inclusion of 97 voters who were reportedly found eligible but left out of the final electoral roll. The demand comes amid a controversy over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and concerns about the deletion and restoration of voter names. The parties have also raised allegations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the state’s BJP government, accusing them of attempting to influence the upcoming Assembly elections. The allegations are political claims and have not been established as facts. The controversy follows reports that requests to enable a rollback option for restoring deleted names were not acted upon before the final roll was published.
