Prakash Raj Initiates Audit of Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls
Actor Prakash Raj has launched a campaign to audit the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka, alleging arbitrary errors and calling the process a 'scam' and 'conspiracy.' From September 20 to 30, he plans to visit multiple polling booths across several districts with civil society groups to document discrepancies such as voters being wrongly categorized or removed. Raj intends to present findings at a public hearing in Delhi and pursue legal action, while questioning preferential treatment given to prominent individuals during the revision.
