Anjali Nimbalkar, former MLA and Congress leader, has appealed to all eligible voters to get themselves enrolled in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Karnataka by the ECI to get benefits of government guarantee schemes.

She alleged that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre is trying to take away citizenship rights of eligible voters in the name of SIR. She said that a vigilant citizenry could protect its rights by coordinating with officers and seeking assistance from Booth Level Agents, if needed.

Later, she chaired a meeting at the Belagavi DCC office with district unit President Vinay Navalgatti and Block Presidents to review the process of party workers working as BLAs.

"The voter list digitisation process is about 60-70% complete. Senior officers have given instructions to complete the remaining 30% work soon,” she said.

“Those whose names are not mapped in the voter list should immediately fill in 'Form No. 6' and add their names. Applications can be submitted at the block level or in the tahsildar's office,” she told party workers and BLAs.
