Akhilesh Yadav Claims BJP May Conduct ‘SAR’ After SIR Ahead of UP Assembly Polls
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has raised a fresh political issue over voter revision in Uttar Pradesh.
Yadav alleged that the BJP could conduct another voter revision exercise after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
He referred to the proposed exercise as “SAR” or Special Annual Revision.
According to Yadav, the exercise could take place before the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
The SP chief made the remarks during a press conference in Lucknow on Monday.
Akhilesh Yadav Raises Voter Revision Concerns
Yadav claimed that the BJP was planning another revision of electoral rolls after SIR.
He alleged that the exercise could facilitate the registration of migrants from other states as voters in Uttar Pradesh.
He specifically mentioned migrants from Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
“After SIR, BJP will conduct another ‘SAR’ in UP ahead of the Assembly polls,” Yadav said.
He also referred to the use of Form 7 following the SIR exercise.
However, these claims are political allegations made by the SP chief. There was no independent confirmation in the reports that a SAR exercise has been formally announced by the Election Commission.
SP to Begin Booth-Level Campaign
Yadav also announced that the Samajwadi Party would step up its election preparations.
He said the party’s booth-level campaign would begin from Tuesday.
The move comes as political parties prepare for the next Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.
Voter rolls and electoral revision have become major political issues in the state.
The SIR process has already triggered debate among political parties over voter verification and electoral participation.
Akhilesh Attacks UP Government
During the press conference, Yadav also criticised the Uttar Pradesh government on several other issues.
He accused the state administration of caste-based discrimination.
The SP chief also levelled allegations against the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force.
He claimed that caste considerations were influencing some police actions and encounters.
Yadav further raised concerns over custodial deaths and law-and-order issues.
The ruling side has not endorsed these allegations.
Political Battle Intensifies Ahead of UP Polls
The latest remarks add another issue to the political contest in Uttar Pradesh.
The SP is seeking to strengthen its organisation at the grassroots level.
Meanwhile, electoral issues are expected to remain central to the political debate ahead of the Assembly polls.
The controversy over voter revision could therefore become an important campaign issue in the coming months.
