My
name was deleted from the voters’ list during one of the earlier elections. I
had to work very hard to get it back on the list. I remembered this when I
received an SMS from a bank informing me that a small amount, like Rs 2, had been
deducted from my account. When the authorities delete many names from the voter
list, can’t they similarly inform the people concerned? After all, many voters have a mobile number registered.
For the others, the authorities can send an inland letter.
The question is whether a citizen’s right to
vote is worth Rs 2.
