The Special Intensive Revision of Assam’s voter rolls, carried out this month, has reportedly left more than 1,200 families scrambling to get their names corrected. Many claim they were omitted or mislisted, sparking protests in local panchayats and online forums.
At Guwahati airport, Ashutosh Ranka told reporters he would meet the affected families, speak with volunteers, and inspect school conditions. He added that the party’s volunteers are already on the ground, ready to rally support.
Ranka said the movement has gained traction in Assam and other northeastern states, citing the robust turnout at the Jantar Mantar protest in New Delhi. He highlighted that the party’s message of accountability has resonated with rural voters.
One such family, headed by 48‑year‑old Sita Devi of Karimganj, claims her name was erased after a clerical error, forcing her to leave her job to fight the listing. Her story illustrates the human cost of the revision.
He will also unveil plans to establish state units in Assam and neighboring states, aiming to broaden the party’s reach and push for educational accountability.
