BJP Leaders Criticize Rahul Gandhi Over Opposition to Special Intensive Revision
BJP leaders Gaurav Bhatia and Sambit Patra criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, accusing him of spreading confusion and double standards. They highlighted support for SIR from Congress leaders like Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and Karnataka's Satish Jarkiholi, noting that most SIRs occurred under previous Congress governments. Congress opposes SIR citing concerns over its constitutionality and impact on voters, while BJP defends it as a constitutional measure to prevent electoral fraud.
