Prakash Raj Claims Name Deleted from Bengaluru Voter List Amid Electoral Revision
The actor described the development as a "joke" and vowed to investigate the process to reinstate his voter identification, as Bengaluru faces significant electoral roll challenges.
Bengaluru, India – Renowned actor Prakash Raj has alleged that his name has been deleted from the electoral roll in Bengaluru, a development he characterised as a "joke" in a video shared on social media platform X.
Raj, who also commented that the situation was a "nice game on," stated his intention to understand the procedure required to restore his voter identification. His claim highlights a broader issue concerning the accuracy and maintenance of electoral rolls within the city.
The actor's experience comes as Bengaluru has emerged as a significant point of concern within Karnataka's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. This comprehensive process involves a house-to-house enumeration to update voter information across the state.
During this intensive revision, nearly half of Bengaluru's electors have been identified under the ASDDO category, which stands for Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead and Others. This substantial classification underscores the scale of discrepancies being addressed in the city's voter lists, making Bengaluru a critical focus of the state's electoral update efforts.
