The party has raised concerns over the integrity of the voter lists, which it claims are flawed and dubious. The Congress rejects the Election Commission of India’s response, calling it ‘feeble and duplicitous’ The party has asked why there has been a deafening silence on Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi”s demand from Election Commission to provide a copy of the Maharashtra voter rolls.“How is it that 17 years later, ECI speaks of constituting a body to clean up this process of multiple voter-IDs? Was the ECI then all along misrepresenting to the voters of India that the ‘voter-IDs were unique’? If yes, then what are the other processes which ECI has been misrepresented to its citizens?” the Congress questioned. The Election Commission, in a letter issued on September 18th, 2008, had said that “voter IDs are unique”. However, the issue of duplicate voter- IDs is a “decades long issue’. The ECI says it will address the matter in the next three months.
