Karnataka Congress Forms Committee to Challenge Election Commission's Voter Roll Revision
The Karnataka Congress, led by KPCC president B.K. Hariprasad, plans to form a special committee to address objections against the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The party opposes the Commission's insistence on Permanent Residential Certificates, advocating acceptance of local residential certificates to prevent voter disenfranchisement, especially among marginalized groups. Hariprasad urged Booth Level Agents to vigilantly ensure genuine voters are included, alleging attempts by BJP and RSS to exclude certain communities from voting rights.
