AIYF stages protest in Thrissur over alleged irregularities in voter list  

The All India Youth Federation (AIYF) has accused the Election Commission of being reduced to a political instrument of the Sangh Parivar and demanded a stronger wave of public protests against voter list manipulation.

Speaking while inaugurating a night march organised by the AIYF district committee on Tuesday night, CPI State council member K.K. Valsaraj condemned the arrest of MPs in the national capital for questioning voter list irregularities, as well as the alleged large-scale manipulation in Thrissur’s electoral roll.

Mr. Valsaraj claimed that the allegation of BJP winning the Lok Sabha polls in Thrissur through voter list fraud has now been “credibly proven.” He accused the Narendra Modi government of using its influence to dismantle the democratic election process, alleging collusion between the BJP and the Election Commission in large-scale voter list tampering.

He said the ruling system, which he described as “a regime more shameless than even notorious criminal gangs,” feared the unity of India’s democratic and secular forces and responded by “slaughtering the democratic system itself.”

Highlighting reports that unoccupied flats were used to register fake addresses in Thrissur, Mr. Valsaraj said several shocking pieces of evidence had already been published by the media. He criticised the continued silence of the local MP, calling it suspicious, and accused the Election Commission of trivialising serious allegations with “nonsensical” explanations.

“Thrissur was not won — it was stolen,” the AIYF declared in its resolution, accusing the Sangh Parivar of betraying democracy and the Indian Constitution by adding fake votes, and turning bogus votes and black money into the BJP’s election slogan.

AIYF district president Binoy Shabeer presided over the protest meeting.
