# BJP, EC say Prakash Raj’s voter ID not deleted, just shifted 2026-08-12T10:42:56+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actor Prakash Raj has accused the Election Commission of lying after it said his voter ID was not deleted but marked 'shifted' because he no longer lived at his registered Bengaluru address. The BJP Karnataka backed the EC, stating a Booth Level Officer found Raj had not resided there for four years and that he himself confirmed the shift. Raj counters that EC officials first called him to admit a 'mistake' and later changed their stance in a press conference. The EC says Raj can re-register using Form 6 at his current address. Raj claims 65 lakh voters have been deleted from Bengaluru rolls. The civic body says his name remains on the electoral roll but needs updating. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bengaluru electoral roll, BJP Karnataka, Prakash Raj, Special Intensive Revision, voter deletion Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-calls-out-prakash-raj-on-voter-deletion-claim/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
