New Delhi, Oct. 24 -- Senior Congress leader and MP Jairam Ramesh on Saturday accused the Election Commission of attempting to shift responsibility for alleged irregularities in voter lists onto software, alleging a conspiracy to benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

In a post on X, Ramesh cited alleged discrepancies in the voter list for the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council elections held on Friday, including entries with names such as 'Ram Ne Yadav Ko Mara' and 'Murkh Chandra Yadav'.

"The Election Commission is trying to deflect the blame for a premeditated conspiracy orchestrated to assist the BJP onto the software, which is unacceptable," Ramesh said.
