Maruti Suzuki Chairperson RC Bhargava was among the multiple voters who complained of their names being removed from the electoral list as 91 constituencies across the country went to polls for Phase 1 of Lok Sabha elections 2019.
Speaking to CNBC-TV18 News, Bhargava said:
“I have an election card issued by the Election Commission. I had voted in 2017 Assembly elections. I had not got a slip this time but I still went to the polling station thinking I will get to vote since I have an election card. When I went there, I found my name was on the list but across it somebody had stamped ‘Deleted’. That clearly meant that I couldn’t vote. My question is how do names get deleted and what is the process of informing the person whose name has been deleted?”
