Goa MLA says Nepalese nationals added to voter rolls, 50 wrongly shifted during SIR

Goa Forward Party chief and MLA Vijai Sardesai on Saturday alleged that Nepalese nationals had been added to Goa's electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision exercise, news agency Press Trust of India reported. He demanded an impartial and time-bound investigation into the alleged irregularities.

Sardesai claimed that some "invisible" voters had been added to the electoral rolls while eligible voters found their names missing. "Nepalese nationals have been added as voters in Goa during the SIR exercise. How can any foreign national be a part of India's electoral roll?" he asked at a press conference in Panaji.
