LUCKNOW (TIP): Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s name has been removed from the voters’ list in Lucknow on the ground of being ”inactive” and ”absent” from his registered address in the city.

According to the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) officials here on Thursday Vajpayee’s name was removed during the work of revision of the voters’ list ahead of the forthcoming elections for civic bodies in the state.

”Vajpayee has not been living at the address registered with us for the past several years…his name was therefore removed during the revision of the electoral rolls,” said a senior LMC official.

Vajpayee’s address as per the records here was 92/98-1 in Bansmandi locality in the city. His voter serial number was 1054, the official said.

”Currently, there is an office of a farmers’ organisation on this address,’’ he added.

Vajpayee last cast his vote in the Lok Sabha polls in 2014. He had voted last in the LMC polls in the year 2000. He was a voter from Babu Banarasi Das Ward in the city.

The former prime minister, who had not been keeping well for the past several years, retired from active politics after 2004.
