It was general complaint by those attending the meeting that voter lists are "defective" with many names missing, incorrect and votes of even a family shifted to other booths. They also complained of inadequate time granted for taking the process of deletion, addition and corrections. Manhas said that the party MLAs has already taken up matter in the State Legislative Assembly and would take up the same with Chief Electoral Officer. He appealed all members of the party to get prepared for forthcoming elections.
