BJP Defends Electoral Roll Revision Amid Congress Allegations of Vote Irregularities

They argue the revision is a constitutional process aimed at updating voter lists and protecting democracy. The Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, criticizes the exercise as flawed and politically motivated. BJP accuses Congress of spreading misinformation and seeking to destabilize democratic institutions amid repeated electoral defeats.
