New Delhi, Jan 02: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Mulayam Singh Yadav today met Election Commission here and
complained about alleged discrepancies in voter lists in a
number of constituencies and demanded corrective measures
before Lok Sabha elections.
Emerging from the hour-long meeting with the Election
Commission, Yadav said he would be filing his nomination paper
on January five for Gannaur assembly constituency for January
24 by-election.
The Commission, Yadav said, has assured him to look into
the charge of "irregularities" in the electoral rolls.
The Chief Minister alleged that previous BSP-BJP
coalition government deleted the names of his partymen in
several constituencies, particularly in Lukhnow, Kanpur,
Lakhimpurkhiri and many other places.
He said he has received complaints from many voters that
they have not yet received their photo identity cards.
The Gannaur assembly seat in district Badaun was vacated
by party MLA Ajit Kumar to facilitate entry of Yadav into
state assembly.
