NDA Allies Urge Election Commission to Clarify Position Amid Internal Dissent Reports
Union Minister Chirag Paswan, an NDA ally, urged Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission to clarify their position amid reports of internal dissent over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Paswan emphasized the need to maintain public trust in the electoral process, stating the Commission should address concerns directly to voters rather than political opponents. Former minister Upendra Kushwaha also called for prompt clarification to dispel public confusion. The Election Commission maintains that internal differences are normal and final decisions were unanimous.
