‎New Delhi, Feb 5 (UNI) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies of conspiring to disenfranchise voters from the PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) communities, particularly minorities, by misusing electoral procedures in Uttar Pradesh. He called upon the Supreme Court to take immediate cognisance of the matter, saying no other institution was left that could be trusted to protect voters’ constitutional rights.
In a series of messages posted on his WhatsApp channel, Yadav alleged that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were being harassed, threatened and pressured to facilitate the deletion of voters’ names using forged documents. “Maananiya Sarvochch Nyayalaya tatkaal sangyaan le, kyunki aur kisi se ummeed nahi bachi hai,” Yadav said, appealing directly to the apex court.
‎The SP chief claimed that Form 7, which is used for objections and deletion of names from the electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, was being systematically misused to target voters from PDA communities. “BJP aur unke sahyogi, apradhiyon ki tarah pesh aa rahe hain. Woh UP ke BLO ko pratadit karke, dabav banakar, dhamkakar PDA samaaj, khas taur se alpsankhyak samuday ka vote farzi dastavezon ke aadhar par kaatne ki saazish kar rahe hain,” he alleged.
Yadav demanded an immediate ban on the use of Form 7 until what he described as a “valid and transparent mechanism” was put in place. He also sought the cancellation of all Form 7 applications submitted so far and an immediate halt to claim-and-objection activities.
“SIR mein Form 7 ke durupyog ko turant roka jaye aur har voter ke mat dene ke samvaidhanik adhikar ki raksha ki jaye,” he said. He further demanded that FIRs be registered against those allegedly forcing BLOs and that such cases be heard on a fast-track basis.
‎Escalating his attack, the SP president sought a judicial inquiry into what he termed “anti-national forces” working behind the alleged conspiracy to delete voters’ names. “Desh ki janta ke vote kaatne ke shadyantra ke peeche kaun si desh-virodhi taaqatein sakriya hain, iski nyayik jaanch ho,” Yadav said.
‎Yadav also appealed to what he called “honest journalists and officials” to come forward and support the fight against these alleged forces. Appealing to party workers, he urged “PDA praharis” to remain vigilant and actively work to protect every legitimate vote.
‎“BJP ki dhandhli ko unki hone wali haar ki hatasha samjhein aur unke ghotalon ke saboot ikattha karke unke khilaaf FIR ki taiyari karein,” he said. Yadav further asserted that the growing support base of the PDA alliance had unsettled the ruling party. “Sach to yeh hai ki jaise-jaise PDA parivaar badh raha hai, waise-waise BJP dar rahi hai,” he added.
