NDA Allies Urge Election Commission to Clarify Internal Dissent Amid SIR ControversyPreviousNext

Union Minister Chirag Paswan and other NDA allies, including Upendra Kushwaha and Telugu Desam Party leaders, have called on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission of India to clarify reports of internal dissent over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. They emphasized the need to maintain public trust and dispel doubts about the electoral process, while distancing themselves from opposition allegations. The Election Commission has stated that differing views are part of normal deliberations and final decisions were unanimous. Opposition parties continue to demand accountability and raise concerns over electoral integrity.
