Union Ministers Defend Electoral Roll Revision Amid Opposition Allegations
Union Ministers Sukanta Majumdar and Bhupender Yadav accused the INDIA bloc and opposition parties of spreading confusion and anarchy by alleging irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. They defended the SIR as a routine constitutional process aimed at updating voter lists by removing duplicates, deceased, and relocated individuals. The BJP launched 'Save Democracy, End Anarchy' campaigns countering opposition demands for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Opposition leaders, including Congress, were criticized for politicizing the issue without substantiated evidence.
