Key Questions Answered
S. Raghupathy hit back at Minister Aadhav Arjuna after Arjuna claimed that the DMK conspired in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) issue and controlled Booth Level Officers, calling Arjuna's claims baseless and telling him to consult a doctor.
In late 2025, the DMK and its allies held an all-party meeting, filed a case in the Supreme Court for an interim stay, organized statewide district headquarters protest demonstrations, and raised strong opposition in Parliament.
The DMK condemned conducting the massive SIR task during the northeast monsoon season due to severe public hardship and warned that it could lead to the wrongful deletion of lakhs of genuine voters, similar to occurrences in Bihar.
