Lucknow, October 14: Ahead of the forthcoming panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, likely to be held next year, a block-level officer was going through the list of voters in Bhaisahiya village when he came across names such as "Narendra Modi", "Barack" and "Laden".

The officer, BLO Pramila Devi, was shocked to see that one "Laden" whose father is "Modi" and a voter named "Pankha", son of "Check" are also on the voter list of Bhaisahiya gram panchayat. The voter list with suspicious names was last revised ahead of the 2015 panchayat elections. Pramila Devi was given the list on October for revision and correction.

"On October 5, I was handed over the voter list by the ADO Panchayat office to update and correct. During the review, I found the suspicious names and inquired about it. None of the names was found available in the gram panchayat," Pramila Devi was quoted by Times of India as saying. "The suspicious names were probably added by the mischief ahead of 2015 panchayat election, but now I have to rectify it," she added.
Politicians often attempt to infiltrate the voter list and include bogus names of voters. On the day of the election, their aides impersonate as those non-existent voters and help their candidates. The Election Commission routinely revise names of electorates and add new voters or delete deceased ones.
