TVK Leader Alleges DMK Collaboration in Tamil Nadu Voter Roll Revision Controversy
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader and Tamil Nadu PWD Minister Aadhav Arjuna accused DMK chief M K Stalin of collaborating with the Election Commission and the Centre to implement the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which allegedly removed over 9.7 million voters, mainly women and youth. Arjuna described the process as a "murder of democracy" and claimed the DMK controlled the exercise without protest.
