Yogi Adityanath's 'Missing Hindu Voters' Claim Ignites Fresh Battle Ahead Of 2027
A staggering claim by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has triggered a major political confrontation ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. The BJP says 1.27 crore Hindu voters are missing from the state's electoral rolls and is launching a booth-level campaign to re-enrol them. The Samajwadi Party, meanwhile, alleges the Special Intensive Revision process is flawed and has intensified its outreach to Dalit and PDA voters, while the Congress has begun its own election preparedness exercise. Is this a case of genuine voter exclusion, a data discrepancy, or proof that the SIR exercise is deeply flawed? As UP's three major parties sharpen their poll strategies, has the battle over voter rolls become the defining political issue of Election 2027?
