EC examining Modi's video message

Responding to complaints that names of nearly 6000 voters in minority-dominated areas of Varanasi were missing, Zutshi said the EC has received interim report in this regard which stated that some people with voter cards did not find their names in the electoral rolls though they had voted in the last elections.

He said investigations were on as to how many names were missing. He said EC will take “corrective action” if names were deleted wrongfully.

He also said EC pursues all complaints and FIRs regarding poll code and electoral law violations till they reach their “logical conclusion”.
