Key Questions Answered
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by the Election Commission has sparked intense political conflict, with Congress and opposition leaders alleging that voters' names could be affected and demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. Opposition MPs led by Rahul Gandhi even marched toward the Election Commission headquarters, leading to brief detentions by the police in Delhi.
Sharing an old statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP asserted that the Congress consistently opposes major national reforms such as 'One Nation, One Election', SIR, Waqf Board changes, and the CAA, opting instead for confusion and vote-bank politics.
