Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak stated that no valid voters were deleted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, attributing opposition claims to misleading the public. He defended the revision process as necessary for accuracy, questioning the inclusion of deceased or untraceable individuals. Pathak also criticized the Samajwadi Party for alleged anti-national tendencies and suggested the opposition's controversy stems from their Bihar election defeat.
