Imphal, November 18 2021:
BJP Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Mandal president L Indrajit has alleged that numerous underage persons have been enrolled in electoral rolls of Naoriya Pakhanglakpa assembly constituency which needs to be rectified by the authority concerned.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here on Thursday, L Indrajit stated that for the past many years, there has been the practice of falsifying age and Aadhaar card of underage youth for enrolling them in the electoral rolls in Naoriya Pakhanglakpa AC.
Numerous such names were deleted during the last assembly election in 2017, but again many such underage youth have been found enrolled in the electoral rolls by changing names, addresses and Aadhaar details.
On top of this, many names are present in the electoral rolls of the constituency who are not residents of the AC, he claimed.
Indrajit urged the authority concerned to redress the issue so that it is not repeated.
If such action continues, they will lodge their complaint to state and national BJP top officials and even take legal action, he warned.
