"When I went there I found that my name was there in the list but across it somebody had stamped deleted. Somebody decided to delete me from the list," Bhargava said, adding that he did not know the reason of the removal.

He further told IANS: "I can now write to the Noida's Chief Electoral Officer or the UP Chief Electoral Officer to find out who they are (who deleted my name) and why did they do it… I have not written so far, but I will write."

The Maruti Chairman noted that he had voted earlier and cast his vote in that every polling station in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2017.
