Voter List Purge Sparks Debate: Citizenship Questions and Political Drama Unfold

India’s voter list revision has reignited the citizenship debate after a man’s name was struck off despite having Aadhaar and voter ID. The Bombay High Court’s ruling that such documents do not prove citizenship has intensified the controversy, with Rahul Gandhi accusing the Election Commission of “vote chori” and targeting marginalized communities. While the BJP defends the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) as crucial for electoral integrity, critics warn of disenfranchisement risks, making the issue a flashpoint ahead of upcoming elections.
