Name of leader close to Congress high command missing from UP SIR, said – had given all the documents

Today the Election Commission has released the draft of the voter list of Uttar Pradesh. According to this, names of about 2 crore 89 lakh voters have been deleted in UP. In the previous voter list, there were 15 crore 44 lakh voters in UP, but after SIR, only 12 crore 55 lakh names are left in the new draft of the voter list. After the release of the draft SIR of the voter list in UP, Congress leader Gurdeep Singh Sappal on Tuesday claimed that his and his family members’ names are missing from the SIR, even though he has all the documents and his names were also in the 2003 voter list.

Congress leader raised questions on UP SIR

Gurdeep Singh Sappal, associated with the Congress Working Committee, said that his name was struck off only on the ground that he had transferred his name from Sahibabad assembly constituency to Noida assembly constituency. Sappal posted on X, “Uttar Pradesh SIR draft list has been published. My and my family’s names are missing in this, while our names were included in the voter list of 2003, our names were also included in the voter list of the last election and the names of our parents were also included in the voter list of 2003.

‘We have all the necessary documents’

He says, “We had also submitted the necessary documents as per the rules of the Election Commission. We have passport, birth certificate, Aadhaar, bank account, property documents, 10th class certificate, everything.” Sappal said, ”I myself was the Vice President of India (Hamid Ansari) and also joint secretary in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat. I am also a member of the Supreme Committee (Working Committee) of the Congress. Not only this, I have also been a part of the Congress delegation in the Election Commission many times on SIR and other issues and the BLO also knows this. But still our names were cut from the draft list.

He claimed, “The reason is that we had shifted our house from Sahibabad Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh to Noida Legislative Assembly. We were told that there is no provision to retain the names of voters transferred to SIR.

‘This is the truth SIR’

According to the Congress leader, if a voter has changed his residence to a new area, his name has been struck off. He said, “There are crores of genuine voters like me. I will probably still fill the new Form 6 and get my names added, but how many people will be able to do so? This is the truth of SIR.
