SaralnamaThe Congress party started a pilot project to appoint 'booth rakshaks' in five Lok Sabha constituencies. These rakshaks will detect irregularities in voter lists. The project covers areas where Congress lost by small margins in 2024 elections. Each booth rakshak oversees 10 booths with a team of 10 Booth Level Agents. A five-member team is training local leaders to review electoral rolls and spot vote fraud. They're gathering data on voter list issues to report to party leaders. The project aims to raise awareness about 'vote chori' (vote theft). Congress is teaching workers how to use Forms 6, 7, and 8 in the electoral process. To check for voter fraud, look for multiple voters at one address or names of deceased people on lists. (Updated 23 Sep 2025, 07:15 IST; source: link)
