This week, host Shivnarayan Rajpurohit is joined by Sumedha Mittal.

Sumedha’s series for Newslaundry, Broken Ballots, tracked curious deletions and additions of voters to the electoral rolls.

She also cautions that this could be “used as exploitation”, regardless of whoever is in power. 

Tune in.
