Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Monday raised the issue of the voters’ list in the Lok Sabha and called for a discussion on the matter.
Calling it a serious issue, Rahul Gandhi, during the Zero Hour, said that questions are being raised on the issue of voters’ list.
“You (Speaker) said it right, that the government does not prepare the voters’ list. But questions are being raised across the country on voters’ lists,” Gandhi said.
He said that these issues are being raised in “all Opposition states” and in “Maharashtra doubts are being raised in black and white.”
The entire Opposition is united on this issue and wants a detailed discussion on the voters’ list, Gandhi said.
It may be mentioned that following the defeat of INDI Alliance in the Maharashtra assembly elections last year, Rahul Gandhi had been voicing concerns, alleging a significant surge in new voters, especially between the 2024 Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections in the state.
Earlier in the day, the proceedings of the Lower House were adjourned till 12 noon after DMK members protested over the issue of implementation of the New Education Policy in Tamil Nadu.
