Karnataka BJP leader H.K. Dinesh has withdrawn his objections to delete 243 voters from the electoral rolls in Chikkamagaluru's Koppa taluk following a controversy over targeted deletion of Muslim voters during Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Initially, Dinesh filed Form-7 objections on September 21 and 22, alleging suspicious voter information.
However, upon re-verification, it was found that the voters in question were within the jurisdiction of the polling stations. Dinesh subsequently submitted a confession letter on October 1st stating he is withdrawing the earlier Form-7 objections. The controversy escalated after BJP taluk leaders H.K. Dinesh, Arjun, Halappa, Karthik and Brijesh filed Form-7 objections, reportedly targeting 243 voters, with at least three named as Muslim or Christian.
The allegations have led to several FIRs against BJP leaders over alleged irregularities in the SIR process in Karnataka.
