Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has stated that the state will continue its investigation into efforts to illegally remove genuine voters' names from electoral rolls. He alleged that the BJP is behind this scheme, aiming to disenfranchise minorities and the poor. Shivakumar noted that the Election Commission of India has been prompted to conduct a drive to re-include deleted names following pressure from opposition parties. He questioned the BJP's apprehension about legal action if they have committed no wrongdoing, asserting the Congress's commitment to justice for affected voters.
