Delhi SIR: Why BJP BLAs’ voter deletion applications in Mustafabad focused on three neighbourhoods

New Delhi The 796 applications seeking deletion of names from the voter list filed by 20 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs) in Delhi’s Mustafabad were mostly concentrated on just 25 of the Assembly constituency’s 294 polling booths, The Hindu has found.

The Form 7 applications were all against Muslim electors, and the 25 booths, spread across three neighbourhoods, appeared to have been selected because they had a sizeable Muslim population with claims of few deletions when the draft electoral roll was published as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, an analysis of records and interviews with local BJP workers showed.

The three neighbourhoods are Nehru Vihar, Dayalpur, and Chandu Nagar.
