BJP and Congress Clash Over Electoral Roll Revisions and Democracy Protests
The BJP has organized marches and rallies across India, asserting they aim to protect democracy and counter alleged misinformation by the Congress and opposition parties regarding electoral processes, particularly the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls. BJP leaders accuse the Congress of creating anarchy and undermining constitutional institutions, while Congress figures like Gehlot allege these marches are distractions from issues like inflation and corruption. Both sides emphasize democratic means, with BJP challenging Congress to debate and Congress highlighting public grievances.
