The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has joined opposition parties in questioning the Special Revision of Assam’s electoral rolls. AASU adviser Samujjal Bhattacharya said Assam’s voter lists have never been free of errors since the 1985 Assembly elections. He said, "A faulty voters’ list (ahead of a by-election to the Mangaldoi Lok Sabha in 1979) triggered the Assam Agitation. However, the issue of incorrect electoral rolls has persisted." Bhattacharya added that a reliable, error-free voter list is impossible without updating and correcting the National Register of Citizens (NRC). "Prepared under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court, the NRC must serve as the base document for electoral rolls," he said. The NRC draft, published in August 2019, left out 19.06 lakh applicants from 3.3 crore. It remains unapproved officially, with the BJP-led Assam government questioning its accuracy. Bhattacharya highlighted reports that new voters from outside Assam, especially northern India, are being added during the Special Revision. He urged the Election Commission to remove such names if anomalies appear. "The election authorities must explain how such discrepancies are cropping up, and strict action should be taken against the officials responsible," he said. Meanwhile, Raijor Dal MLA alleged on January 6 that BJP plans to identify and delete voters who do not support it, adding about 10,000 new supporters per Assembly seat. Earlier, Congress and CPI (Marxist) accused officials of manipulating voter lists to favor BJP’s win in upcoming Assembly polls. They pointed to the Chief Minister’s statement claiming BJP and allies will win at least 103 seats. The concerns add more heat to the ongoing political battle over Assam’s voter rolls and election fairness.
