Call for Digital Voter List to Protect Democracy and Ensure Free, Fair Elections – Deputy Chief Minister Backs Rahul Gandhi’s Campaign

Shimla, August 12 – Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri said that safeguarding democracy, maintaining the integrity of the electoral roll, and ensuring free and fair elections are collective responsibilities that everyone must uphold. Extending full support to senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s demand for a “Digital Voter List,” he emphasised that this is not merely a political issue but a pledge to protect the Constitution, transparency, and the people’s unwavering trust.

He noted that any manipulation in the electoral process—whether through malpractice, vote theft, or tampering with the voter list—weakens the very roots of democracy. A digital voter list, he said, would enhance transparency, accountability, and public confidence. He urged the people of the state to join this movement to strengthen democracy, adding that support can be registered by visiting www.votechori.in/ecdemand or giving a missed call on 9650003420.

“This is not the fight of a single party; it is the cause of the entire nation, and every citizen’s participation is essential,” the Deputy Chief Minister said, expressing confidence that this campaign would mark an important step towards ensuring fair and transparent elections in the country.
