Minister Aadhav Arjuna accused the DMK of forming a secret alliance with the Election Commission and the central BJP government to fully execute the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) operations in Tamil Nadu. He claimed that voter lists and booth assignments were controlled by DMK functionaries, leading to a massive deletion of voters to target youth and women supporting the Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK).
Ultimately, 7.4 million voters were deleted from Tamil Nadu's voter list during the SIR operations, causing the total voter count to shrink from 64 million to 57 million. In the first phase alone, over 9.7 million voters were deleted, and while about 2.7 million voters were re-included in the second phase, a net deficit of millions remained.
Speaking at a DMK conference in Madurai on February 21, 2026, M.K. Stalin defended the party's role by stating that the DMK worked tirelessly to ensure no one's vote was unfairly deleted in Tamil Nadu. He credited the 7 lakh party functionaries who worked as BLAs, BLCs, and BDAs during the SIR process as key to securing the party's future victory.
