Actor Prakash Raj says his name has been deleted from the voter rolls in Bengaluru during Karnataka’s ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. He claims he is among an estimated 65 lakh voters whose voting rights were removed, according to a video post on X. He says he questions the revision process after receiving notice or realizing his name is no longer on the list.
Prakash Raj also links the issue to his long-time association with Bengaluru. Sources report that he cites being born in the city and refers to his previous attempt to contest elections, including his past candidature for the Lok Sabha from the constituency. In response to what he describes as an error in the voter list, he says he will seek restoration of his voting rights.
The outlets agree on his core allegation and the fact that the claim is made in a social media video during the roll revision exercise. Differences in reporting mainly concern emphasis—some foreground the scale of affected voters and others focus on his personal eligibility and political history in Bengaluru.
