“13 Crore Voters Deleted” needs context.
The figure includes:
• 9.5 crore (71%) absent, shifted or other cases
• 2.7 crore (20%) deceased
• 1 crore+ (~8%) duplicate/multiple entries
So the real question is: should deceased, duplicate or shifted entries remain on electoral rolls?
Congress-led governments conducted 7 SIRs in the past. Why is the issue being framed differently now?
Electoral rolls need to be accurate, updated and free of duplicate or ineligible entries.
