Overview
- Six parties — Congress, Raijor Dal, Assam Jatiya Parishad, CPI, CPI(M) and CPI(ML) — submitted a memorandum on Sunday to Assam’s chief electoral officer seeking summary rejection of mass objections to existing voters.
- The parties allege many objections are fake or unauthorized, citing misuse of EPIC and mobile numbers, ultra‑short notices, and instances where booth‑level officers reported coercion or signatures obtained under false pretences.
- They demand action against objectors, restraint on suo motu deletions, acceptance of Form 8 for eviction‑affected voters, and restrictions on unauthorised persons influencing electoral officials.
- The memorandum names three BJP office‑bearers for alleged interference at the South Kamrup co‑district office and seeks an FIR, while Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s remarks about targeting “Miyas” draw claims of unconstitutional bias.
- Under the EC‑ordered special revision, objections must be disposed of by February 2 and the final roll is due February 10, after BLOs flagged 478,992 deceased electors, 523,680 shifted entries and 53,619 duplicates.
