Why it matters
The integrity of electoral rolls is a cornerstone of democratic processes, and this move addresses significant political allegations of voter fraud in a major urban constituency.
The Karnataka State Election Commission (SEC) has forwarded Rajya Sabha MP Mansoor Ali Khan’s complaint regarding the electoral rolls of Mahadevapura Assembly constituency to the Election Commission of India (ECI), asking that the grievances be examined as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Karnataka.
The Mahadevapura Assembly constituency has been at the centre of a major political controversy in Bengaluru over allegations of manipulation of electoral rolls. The issue escalated after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged large-scale “vote chori” during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the BJP of electoral fraud. The allegations included claims that more than one lakh ineligible or fraudulent votes had been systematically added to the electoral rolls.
