Original review summary

The voter list was from the 2023 Varanasi Municipal Corporation election, not an Election Commission of India voter list. The review says disciples of Swami Ramkamal Das Vedanti listed their Guru as their father under the Guru-Shishya tradition; 48 voters, not 43, were listed under his name at the address. [S1][S1]

Additional context

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer clarified on 12 March 2025 that urban local-body electoral rolls are not prepared by the Election Commission of India; Assembly and Lok Sabha rolls are separate. [S1]
