10 votes registered at BJP district office address, Thrissur LS polls held on fraudulent list, alleges V.S. Sunil Kumar

V.S. Sunil Kumar, former Minister and LDF’s 2024 Lok Sabha candidate from Thrissur, has alleged that the last General Elections in the constituency were conducted using a fraudulently prepared voters’ list.

Speaking to mediapersons in Thrissur on Thursday (August 14, 2025), Mr. Sunil Kumar claimed that 10 votes were registered under the address and number of the BJP Thrissur district committee office. “In booth no. 42, at the address ‘Deendayal Mandiram,’ votes were added without even a house number. None of these individuals are permanent residents there,” he said.

The CPI leader further alleged that BJP State vice president V. Unnikrishnan, a native of Malappuram, also led efforts to manipulate the voter rolls. “His vote was registered at the address of the BJP Thrissur district vice president,” Mr. Sunil Kumar said.

“The BJP’s victory in Thrissur was achieved through a voter list that was unjustly created,” he said, adding that “such a mandate cannot stand” and demanded that the Election Commission cancel the electoral rolls.

The CPI was continuing scrutiny of the voters’ list and would come up with more details on the manipulations, he added.
