| BJP takes exception to discrepancies in voter lists | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU , Mar 13 : On the eve of forthcoming Municipal Corporation and other local body elections, BJP has raised serious questions and objections to discrepancies, errors and possible manipulations in the voter lists and voter cards which, if not rectified, will turn these elections into a big farce.
Addressing a press conference at party headquarters here today, National Executive Member & J&K Chief Spokesperson Dr. Jitendra Singh produced documentary evidence with papers and print-outs to show that in certain areas and wards, either the voter lists were not available and if available these were printed in such font or script that these were not legible. In cases where the voter lists were available and also legible, the information provided about name, age, parentage or residential address was either inadequate or erratic, he added.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that in the absence of proper voter lists and voter cards, the National Conference-Congress coalition government is exposed to the charge of being dishonest in its decision to hold fair and free elections to local bodies. Repeated representations to state administration have evoked the response that the authorities may come out with fresh revised lists, said Dr. Jitendra Singh, but asked whether the revised lists would be published well in time so that all the political parties get ample time to verify and study these lists for any further modification if required.
Referring to voter identification cards, Dr. Jitendra Singh reminded the administration that it is not mere a voter card but as per the statutes of Indian Constitution.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that the BJP has right from the beginning already taken several other exceptions to the local body elections and demanded implementation of 74th Amendment of Constitution if the government is sincerely committed to the genuine empowerment of local bodies. |
