New Delhi, Nov 19 (IANS) Jaipur District Collector and Magistrate on Wednesday released a fact check after a video went viral on social media regarding Special Intensive Revision (SIR), in which residents of Jhotwara allege that a Booth Level Officer (BLO) going door-to-door failed to provide enumeration forms and was arbitrarily removing names from the voter list.
Jaipur District Collector and Magistrate clarified on social media ‘X’ that the process of filling the enumeration form will continue till December 4, 2025.
According to the post, some residents were found absent during two BLO visits, and another visit is still pending. If voters, who were unavailable earlier, are found during the next visit, they will be given enumeration forms and asked to fill them.
The Collector further said that voters who will not be included in the draft voter list to be released on December 9, 2025, will be added or deleted only after issuing notice by the Voter Registration Officer and providing an opportunity of being heard between December 9, 2025 and January 8, 2026. Additionally, District Collector and Magistrate, Jaipur said that the option to fill and submit the enumeration form online is open to all voters.
Meanwhile, in the viral video, a young man is seen alleging that the BLO directly threatened to strike off the names of those who did not bring the forms to him. The man can be heard asking the BLO, “Why did you delete my name? You didn’t even come to our house. We came to you, yet you made us absent. On whose instructions did you delete our names?”
On November 18, the Congress party had shared a video alleging manipulation in the voter list. The party claimed that the BLO did not visit the voter’s home or provide the form, yet removed the names of the voter and his family.
According to the Congress statement, people are being targeted and they are being removed from the voter list illegally. The party described the removal of names as an attack on constitutional rights and said that such actions will not be tolerated.
