Gujarat Assembly Debates Electoral Roll Revisions Amid Opposition Concerns

During the Gujarat Assembly's budget session, opposition MLAs from Congress and AAP raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, highlighting wrongful deletions of voter names through numerous Form 7 applications filed without voter consent. Speaker Shankar Chaudhary allowed limited discussion despite objections from BJP ministers citing the Election Commission's autonomy. The session focused on approving an appropriation bill for SIR-related expenditures amid debates on the state's role in electoral roll revisions.
