Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed that 1.27 crore Hindu voters are missing from the state's electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), triggering a fresh political row ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Speaking at AajTak Panchayat, Yogi accused the Opposition of spreading propaganda over the voter revision exercise and questioned Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's criticism. He said his government had submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission seeking the inclusion of eligible voters. According to ECI data, over 2.04 crore names were removed, while more than 84 lakh new voters were added. (PC: India Today)
