Agartala, September 15, 2025: As part of its nationwide signature campaign against alleged voter fraud, the Tripura Pradesh Congress held a meeting at the state party headquarters in Agartala on Monday. The meeting was attended by Pradesh Congress president Ashish Kumar Saha along with other party leaders.

The Congress has resolved to collect signatures from five crore citizens and submit a memorandum to the President of India and the Election Commission of India demanding corrective measures.

Speaking to reporters, Congress president Ashish Kumar Saha said democracy rests on the power of every single vote, which he alleged is now under threat. He pointed out that in several constituencies, the electoral rolls are riddled with errors—missing photographs, duplicate entries, and deliberate exclusions of genuine voters. He further accused that certain communities are being intentionally targeted and genuine voters are being suppressed through fraudulent means.

Saha stressed that every eligible citizen’s name must be included in the electoral rolls and urged people across the country to join the signature campaign. He also called for accountability, transparency, and immediate corrective steps by the Election Commission.

The Pradesh Congress has placed several demands, including: preparation of photo-based, machine-readable electoral rolls for public scrutiny; publication of additions and deletions with photographs before every election; an accessible grievance redressal mechanism for wrongful exclusions; prevention of last-minute deletions or inclusions by setting a fixed deadline well in advance; and legal action against officials or agents involved in deliberate voter suppression.
