Yogi Adityanath Warns Ministers: No Slack on Voter List, Or Face Consequences

• CM Yogi Adityanath warned ministers and MLAs about negligence in the draft voter list (SIR) process in Uttar Pradesh.
• He stressed the importance of adding eligible names and removing ineligible ones, stating that slacking off would lead to significant losses.
• Ministers are tasked with monitoring the SIR process in their areas and ensuring corrections, staying in their respective areas.
• Approximately 2.89 crore names were deleted from the UP draft voter list, including many from BJP strongholds like Lucknow and Ghaziabad.
• CM previously noted that 80-90% of deleted names belonged to BJP voters; citizens can apply to add/correct names via Form 6.

Why It Matters: CM Yogi pushes ministers to actively correct voter lists, fearing political fallout from 2.89 crore deletions.
