00:00And Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer, V. Anbu Kumar, says no voter has been deleted from the draft rolls merely because
00:08Form 7 applications were filed in bulk.
00:10He insists every deletion follows due process and due verification. Listen in.
00:18We are able to serve the voters of Karnataka and I feel very comfortable.
00:23I'm grateful to all the political parties and the representatives and the Boothal agent for such a great support.
00:28And I'm grateful to all my officers, especially the BLOs, who took the greater burden on their shoulders and completed
00:34the job without any greater controversy.
00:36The issue was only on Form 7 and I could assure you once again, not even a single voter name
00:42has been deleted from the draft roll just because of submission of Form 7 in bulk.
00:47Every deletion would definitely happen, have definitely happened from the roll after due verification and after passing speaking order.
00:57So has Satish Jarkioli punctured the Congress Party narrative on Vote Chori?
