Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that a farce is being carried out in the name of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh. Sanjay Singh said that the BJP government, senior officials of the Election Commission, and employees of the Yogi Adityanath government have together carried out the biggest manipulation of the voter list in the state’s history. He said that Uttar Pradesh was earlier reported to have 17 crore voters, but under the pretext of an intensive revision, this number was reduced to 12 crore 55 lakh, effectively erasing four and a half crore voters within a single month. He termed this a direct assault on democracy and the Constitution.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday at the party headquarters in Lucknow, AAP UP Prabhari and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, “Earlier employees of the Uttar Pradesh government prepared separate voter lists for gram panchayat, BDC, district panchayat, and local body elections, and on the basis of these lists it was stated in December 2025 that the state had a total of 17 crore voters.”
He pointed out that despite this, when the same employees carried out the intensive revision, it was suddenly claimed that combining urban and rural areas, the state has only 12 crore 55 lakh voters. He questioned where four and a half crore voters went within one month.
Sanjay Singh said, “If this intensive revision was correct, then on what basis were 4 crore 50 lakh voters removed from the list?” He further said, “This is not a mistake, but a planned fraud, which must be fully investigated.”
Sanjay Singh revealed that as soon as 4 crore 50 lakh voters were removed, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke about increasing 200 votes at every booth. He said that there are 1 lakh 77 thousand booths in Uttar Pradesh, meaning the BJP is preparing to add around three and a half crore votes in Uttar Pradesh.
He pointed out that the BJP is bringing people from Bihar, Haryana, Delhi, Mumbai, and Rajasthan and playing a game of fraudulently getting them registered as voters in Uttar Pradesh.
Sanjay Singh said, “The BJP first gives a list for cutting votes and then comes with a list for adding votes, while opposition voters are left to suffer.” He said that a BJP MLA has openly stated that his 18 thousand votes have increased, which exposes this entire game.
Sanjay Singh said that the Election Commission will have to explain where four and a half crore voters went, on whose orders this fraud was carried out, and that there should be a complete investigation. He said that under SIR, so far about 2 crore 90 lakh names have been cut.
He further emphasised that there are three key forms—Form 6, Form 7, and Form 8—where Form 6 is used for enrolling new voters, Form 7 for voters who have shifted, and Form 8 for missing voters. Sanjay Singh said, “Once these forms are filled, both the rules and the Election Commission’s own guidelines mandate that corresponding Forms 9, 10, and 11 must be filled by the Booth Level Officer (BLO).”
Explaining the process, he said that Form 9 is filled for those whose Form 6 is submitted, Form 10 for those whose Form 7 is submitted, and Form 11 for those whose Form 8 is submitted. He stressed that this is how the BLO maintains official records, adding that the Election Commission must now “separate milk from water” by placing all records in the public domain.
He further said that the Election Commission has claimed that 2 crore 17 lakh people fall under the category of shifted and untraceable. “If these 2 crore 17 lakh people were marked as shifted, then Form 7 must have been filled for them, and consequently Form 10 must have been filled by the BLO,” he said.
He demanded that if, according to the Election Commission, 2 crore 17 lakh people across Uttar Pradesh have indeed shifted, then all their Form 10 records should be made public, placed online, and presented before the country and the media.
The UP Prabhari and Rajya Sabha MP said that the Election Commission has also claimed that 46 lakh people have died and 25 lakh votes are duplicate. Challenging this, he said, “The records of all these should be made public online. Living people have been shown as dead and dead people have been shown as alive.”
Citing examples of Kannauj, Rampur, Lucknow, Sultanpur, Noida, Bahraich, and Kanpur Dehat, Sanjay Singh said that somewhere there are 18 to 49 votes in a single house, somewhere living people have been declared dead, and elsewhere outsiders have been added to the family register. He said sarcastically, “PM Modi seems to have received divine powers, who is turning the dead into the living and the living into the dead.”
Warning the people of the state, Sanjay Singh said that this is not just a matter of votes, but of your property and rights. He said that by creating fake family registers, claims can be made on people’s property tomorrow as well.
The AAP MP further stated, “A very big fraud has taken place in Uttar Pradesh in the name of SIR, and if the Supreme Court orders an in-depth investigation, many people will go to jail.”
He concluded by saying that he is writing a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer today itself and will also raise this issue in the session of Parliament. He said, “More voters than the entire population of Canada have been deprived of their voting rights in Uttar Pradesh, on which the Supreme Court should take immediate cognizance
