Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP's Voter Notice Campaign During SIR Exercise

Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav criticized the BJP's large-scale voter notice campaign during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), calling it a 'vote-banning' effort akin to demonetisation. He alleged that the process causes anxiety among citizens, including prominent families, over losing voting rights and property. Yadav accused the BJP of relying on electoral irregularities amid declining public support and questioned the Election Commission's role, describing the exercise as a conspiracy to reduce votes from backward communities, Dalits, and minorities.
