Debate Intensifies Over Electoral Roll Revision and Political Stability in India
Union Minister Nityanand Rai accused Congress of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to protect alleged fake voters, warning of a Bangladesh-like situation in India. Congress leader Irfan Ansari criticized the government, suggesting the country could face unrest similar to Bangladesh and Nepal. The BJP defended the SIR, citing removal of deceased and duplicate voters, while Congress raised concerns about voter disenfranchisement. The debate highlights tensions over electoral integrity and political stability ahead of elections.
