Start this morning by saluting Nirupama Tripathy, BLO who stood up & exposed an attempt to delete genuine voters in Odisha’s Dhamnagar Assembly seat. A salute to her courage, integrity. Nirupama found at least 227 Form 7 applications seeking deletion of voters’ names uploaded using her credentials without her knowledge. When she talked to other BLOs it then revealed that several BLO's name was used to upload form 7 seeking deletion of genuine voters. On September 4, 10 BLOS including Nirupama filed Police Complaint. And now after a preliminary inquiry, the ECI has suspended SANTOSH KUMAR NAYAK, the EO of the Dhamnagar council and the area’s AERO for the SIR exercise, who used the credentials of BLOs to submit the bulk deletion applications. And as expected over 90% of these form 7 applications were submitted against Muslim voters of the constituency. Nirupama has told the @IndianExpress “I shared OTPs with the AERO and his staff at least three times. I thought it’s for verification purposes. When I found out about processing of 227 Form 7s for deletion of voters on my behalf, I spoke to other BLOs, and they said they were seeing a similar situation. This prompted us to take action.” In Odisha 17.67 lakh voters has been deleted under SIR exercise. The total number of voters in Odisha went down from 3.33 crore before the SIR began to 3.16 crore in the final roll. Nirupama Tripathy is an anganwadi worker. Deserves a salute and must be rewarded. Though I fear, she may bear the consequences. SANTOSH KUMAR NAYAK, is India's enemy. Shouldn't he be tried for treason?
