Uproar over Voter List SIR: Mamata, Tejashwi, Owaisi, and Kejriwal Target ECI; BJP Defends It
Desk: A political storm has erupted over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list. Opposition leaders—including Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, Tejashwi Yadav, and Asaduddin Owaisi—have raised questions regarding the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. While the opposition leveled serious allegations concerning the SIR process and decision-making within the Commission, the BJP defended the ECI and hit back at the opposition. Meanwhile, the Election Commission issued a clarification stating that all decisions, including the SIR, were taken unanimously with the approval of the Chief Election Commissioner and both Election Commissioners. The exchange of allegations and counter-allegations regarding the SIR continues to escalate.
