Three BJP Allies Urge Election Commission to Clear Air on SIR Controversy
· India · Times of India, Hindustan Times
Three key NDA allies have urged the Election Commission in Patna to address public doubts surrounding the electoral process and the special intensive revision of electoral rolls. Chirag Paswan, Upendra Kushwaha, and Chandrababu Naidu pressed the constitutional body to present its side firmly and restore trust among voters. Paswan stated that the EC must counter misgivings without necessarily responding to opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi. The demand follows reports that two top election officials objected to decisions made without their consent, triggering opposition calls for the CEC's removal. While calling for greater transparency, TDP leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu noted that the SIR process had been a success in Andhra Pradesh.
Why it matters
The public demand from ruling coalition partners puts direct pressure on the Election Commission to address transparency concerns and protect the credibility of India's electoral process.
