He pointed to Form 7 applications, which allow the removal of voters' names, and alleged that a single individual had submitted over 100 deletion applications, despite the rule limiting applications to a single person.\n\nFurthermore, the SP chief criticized the BJP's economic policies, stating that the party serves the interests of big industrialists.
