Delhi CM, Kejriwal among 33 lakh electors in Capital to get SIR notice

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and former BJP chief Virendra Kumar Sachdeva are among 33 lakh electors in the Capital receiving Special Intensive Revision (SIR) notices for their eligibility to remain on the electoral rolls. Gupta was issued a notice due to a discrepancy in her age and her parents' age, which was later validated after providing necessary documents.

Kejriwal's notice prompted a political attack from the AAP, accusing the BJP of attempting to remove the voting rights of opposition leaders. Sachdeva also received a notice due to a mismatch in his name, and the final electoral roll is expected to be published on November 4.
