New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) The Delhi Congress on Saturday conducted a special training workshop for its Booth Level Agent-1 workers, to ensure that no legitimate voter, particularly from Dalit and minority communities, loses their voting rights during any Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The workshop, held at the Delhi Congress office under DPCC president Devender Yadav, aimed to prepare party workers to monitor the revision process and train booth-level volunteers across the city.

Addressing the gathering, Yadav alleged that there is a possibility of "vote theft" during the SIR process and said the party would remain vigilant to safeguard the electoral rights of eligible citizens.

"Our BLA-2 workers deployed at all polling booths in Delhi will ensure that votes of Dalits, minorities, lower-class citizens living in resettlement colonies and all legally valid voters are not cut under any circumstances in the name of the SIR process," he said.

He added that Congress workers would undertake a door-to-door campaign to ensure that the names of all eligible voters are included in the electoral rolls and would also set up voter help desks in slum clusters, RWA offices, village chaupals and major markets.

Yadav said the party would "continue to work with full commitment to maintain the transparency of the electoral process and protect the right to vote of every legitimate citizen." After the training, BLA-1 workers will train BLA-2 volunteers and other Congress workers at the booth level across Delhi, the party said.
