Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam has accused the BJP of tampering with electoral rolls in suburban Mumbai. He said some 87 lakh names have been deleted from the voters' list.

A delegation of the Congress party met suburban collector Sachin Kurve, asking him to release the list of deleted names, and sought action against the officials. "The government claims they have a draft roll ready, which is usually prepared after the deletions are made. If they have a draft roll, then they should release it without any further delay," he said.
