Rahul Gandhi Flags 727 Voter Exclusions In Delhi. What Poll Body Said

Rahul Gandhi has alleged that 727 residents of Delhi's Bela Estate have been excluded from the electoral rolls. According to Gandhi, 728 people live in the area along the Yamuna, but after a Special Intensive Revision exercise, only one name remained on the voter list.

Gandhi shared a video on social media platform X of his visit to the area, where he interacted with residents and spoke to an SDM over the phone regarding the alleged deletion of names. He questioned the official about the removal of the residents' names from the electoral rolls.

The Congress leader claimed that the residents have been living in the area for decades and have voted in previous elections, including the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and 2025 Delhi elections. Their homes were demolished in 2023, but they continue to reside in the area, according to Free Press Journal.
