BJP Defends Electoral Roll Revision Amid Opposition Protests and Irregularity Claims
The BJP has defended the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls amid opposition protests alleging voter deletions.

Patra also noted that similar revisions occurred under previous Congress governments and accused opposition parties of spreading misinformation and resisting the process. The controversy has sparked political debate over the accuracy and integrity of voter lists.
