BLOs shared details for ‘verification’. Hundreds of voters in Odisha nearly struck out of roll
In Odisha's Dhamnagar, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) discovered 227 voter deletion requests filed without their consent during a Special Intensive Revision exercise. Following complaints from BLOs, the Election Commission suspended Santosh Kumar Nayak, the Executive Officer, for misusing their credentials. This incident raises concerns about electoral integrity as many flagged voters are Muslim and included in the final roll.
