84 lakh voters missing
About 9.57 lakh voters did not submit the required forms, and nearly 84 lakh voters are marked as missing. Lucknow earlier had around 40 lakh voters. So far, about 70 per cent, roughly 28 lakh voters, have submitted their SIR forms. This means around 12 lakh voter names have been deleted in the city, including about 5.36 lakh duplicate voters.

Discord in BJP over voter list revision, claims Akhilesh
Taking to X, Samajwadi Party chief Akhikesh Yadav attacked the BJP, claiming the leak of information about 2.8 crore voters getting removed from the voter list as left the UP chief minister unsettled, as the majority of these names are BJP voters.

"In the UP BJP, the cause of the internal uproar may superficially be some rebel meeting, but the real reason is that this news has already spread among BJP MLAs: that the names of 2.89 crore voters have been deleted from the SIR," he wrote in the psost.

"According to the UP Chief Minister, with one year remaining, 85-90% of those deleted are his own voters. Here's the political-mathematical analysis of this," he added.
