A political dispute has emerged in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the elections, triggered by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s claim that around 1.27 crore Hindu voters are missing from the electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision. He pointed out a rise in Muslim voters and omissions of genuine Hindu voters, welfare beneficiaries, and youth aged 18 to 19. The Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav responded by accusing the BJP of registering fake voters from other states and called for the Election Commission to take action against these allegations.
