BJP Responds to Opposition Criticism of Election Commission's Electoral Roll Revision
The BJP has accused opposition parties of hypocrisy for criticizing the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging they support the process when it benefits them politically but oppose it in states like West Bengal where they face electoral defeats. This response follows a letter from 23 political parties and an Independent MP to the Chief Justice of India raising concerns about the SIR process and the EC's functioning. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla stated the opposition's objections aim to deflect accountability for election losses.
