Summary of "How ELECTIONS are being Manipulated? | Voter Names Deletions in India | Dhruv Rathee"
Video Summary
The video by Dhruv Rathee discusses the systematic manipulation of voter lists in India, particularly focusing on the deletions of voters' names leading up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Key points include:
- Widespread Deletions: There have been extensive removals of voters' names from electoral rolls across the country, with specific examples highlighting that names were deleted under false pretenses, such as declaring living individuals as deceased or changing addresses without any actual relocation.
- Political Influence: Local politicians, particularly from the BJP, have allegedly pressured booth level officers (BLOs) to remove names from the voter lists, especially in constituencies where the BJP had received fewer votes in previous elections. This has raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
- Case Studies: The video highlights specific cases, including that of Simon Tini Dhuru, who was denied the right to vote despite having received a new voter card shortly before the elections. It was revealed that her name was removed due to a fraudulent claim of her death.
- Impact on Elections: The deletions seem to disproportionately affect voters from certain communities, particularly Yadavs and Muslims, thereby potentially influencing election outcomes. The video cites investigations indicating that significant numbers of voters were removed in areas where the BJP was expected to perform poorly.
- Procedural Violations: The video details how the process for removing names from the voter list, which should involve verification and proper notice, is often bypassed. Many voters reported not receiving any notice about the deletion of their names, contravening established electoral procedures.
- Call to Action: Rathee emphasizes the importance of voters checking their names on the electoral rolls and understanding their rights. He provides resources for verifying voter status and explains the procedures to contest any wrongful deletions.
- Allegations Against BJP: The video concludes with allegations that the BJP is systematically targeting voters who are less likely to vote for them, supported by evidence from various reports and investigations.
