The more we dig into Karnataka’s SIR, the murkier it gets. The pattern emerging around bulk Form 7 filings is nothing but electoral fraud hatched by the BJP-JD(S)-ECI nexus to drop nearly 60 lakh voters from the electoral rolls in Karnataka. Thousands of Form 7 applications have been filed in each Assembly constituency, mostly by a handful of suspected individuals with BJP ties In Bhalki and Babaleshwar, thousands of Form 7 deletion objections were filed in concentrated bursts that disproportionately targeted Muslim voters and other marginalised communities. In some cases, BLOs were pressured into signing bulk Form 7s, people were impersonating the ERO to push the approvals through, and the ERO himself was unaware that his name was being used. This follows many other dirty tricks from the BJP-ECI #VoteChori playbook that were exposed by the Congress party in Mahadevapura and Aland. Today, the Karnataka Congress Party unanimously calls to: - Scrap SIR in Karnataka. - Order a criminal inquiry into bulk Form 7 filings. - Register FIRs against those who generated, filed or coordinated fraudulent Form 7s. - Identify who supplied the voter data used in the pre-filled forms. - Trace the individuals and political actors behind the filings. - Restore every eligible voter wrongly targeted or deleted. - Protect minority, backward-class, SC and ST voters from wrongful exclusion. - Direct BLOs, BLAs, DCs, ACs, EROs and Tahsildars to immediately report suspicious Form 7 activity.
