00:00Now, these are the allegations being put forward by the Karnataka Chief Minister.
00:04What's the situation on ground?
00:06There are allegations of voters' names disappearing, being deleted,
00:10and that voters who are alive being declared dead.
00:14As the SIR process continues, and yes, there's a political fight,
00:18but let's take away from, in fact, a fight and the reactions coming in,
00:23get on ground, investigate these allegations.
00:25What did we find?
00:26Here's a report on how the voters, speaking to India today, say they fear rampant delusions.
00:48The controversy over Karnataka's special intensive revision of electoral rolls is deepening.
00:56With voters alleging their names were deleted without proper verification.
01:01India today went on the ground to investigate these claims.
01:11This is Anand Nair Street in Bengaluru's Alsul,
01:15where a Muslim joint family of 32 voters has lived for over 35 years, across two homes.
01:22But during the revision, eight family members found their names deleted,
01:27with the reasons cited as absent or permanently shifted.
01:56The family disputes the claim.
01:58They say they never moved, never enrolled elsewhere,
02:02and have voted from the same area, including in 2002.
02:07Their demand, verification and restoration of their names.
02:14They say they did not leave, but they said they thought they were in law of 2.8 families.
02:16We have Rs. 85,000.
02:1785,000.
02:1885,000.
02:1885,000.
02:18Is that our city repurposed?
02:2085,000.
02:2185,000.
02:22Our country repurposed?
02:23Yeah, right.
02:24When the pasaid that is several times?
02:27We need to leave them here.
02:29We live here.
02:29We have to decide the divorce.
02:30We have to do it.
02:30Now, the BLA company called us to delete the事.
02:33We will all get to leave and delete the laws.
02:35We will all need to ask them,
02:36what do they need to do it?
02:38Because the solution is going to break them in time.
02:46From Bengaluru to Vijayapura, the allegations get even more startling.
03:01On Friday, voters allegedly marked as dead protested outside the Vijayapura Deputy Commissioner's office.
03:09Their question was simple.
03:10How can they be marked under dead vote category when they were standing right there?
03:19We have not met the Commissioner's office.
03:20We have two days and we are back.
03:21I am here at the D.C. office.
03:23I am here at the D.C. office.
03:24I am here at the C.C. office.
03:26I have a question.
03:27The question is, do you delete it?
03:29Who will delete it?
03:30I will ask you one question.
03:32Who is it after this?
03:33I will ask you one question.
03:43Vijayapura Congress leaders joined the protests and gave out the Commissioner Vijay Mikalki.
03:50They also raised allegations against BJP MLA Basawana Gowda Patil Yatnal, demanding action.
04:20Yatnal responded, saying everyone has the right to raise concerns and seek due verification.
04:42We took these questions to the Chief Minister DK Shivakumar as well.
04:49This type of misuse by the BJP workers has been exposed.
04:54They are trying to target all this party, poor people, traditional voters of the Congress party, and they are doing
05:01it.
05:01Action has to be taken against those who are trying to misuse.
05:05There is a big criminal conspiracy. This is not an ordinary conspiracy.
05:08This is a criminal conspiracy which they have done.
05:11This is the nation's biggest scam like this is.
05:15A common fear now haunts these voters.
05:21Being erased from the rolls without proper verification.
05:28Declared shifted in Bengaluru.
05:33Declared dead in Vijayapura.
05:38Now, the affected voters want answers and a transparent verification of every disputed deletion.
