They accused Congress and Rahul Gandhi of spreading misinformation, questioning democratic processes, and deflecting from electoral defeats, citing Congress's loss of over 50 elections before SIR. Opposition parties have protested the exercise, alleging irregularities, while BJP emphasizes the revision's role in maintaining electoral integrity.
