Career
| Overview | Minta Devi is a 35-year-old homemaker from Siwan district, Bihar. She became the face of opposition protests against alleged voter fraud when she was mistakenly listed as a 124-year-old first-time voter in the Election Commission's draft electoral roll. The error occurred because her birth year was recorded as 1900 instead of 1990 on her voter registration form. Opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi, wore T-shirts bearing her name and the slogan '124 Not Out' to protest the irregularity in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Minta Devi later criticized the opposition leaders for using her image without permission and clarified that her Aadhaar card contains her correct birth date of 15 July 1990. |
