New Delhi: Amidst rising political tensions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls, Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav has stepped in to clarify the process using official data. On Thursday, the minister addressed the ongoing controversy by presenting the complete record of the SIR exercise conducted in Bihar.
The opposition parties have been actively campaigning against the SIR, alleging that it is a tool for vote rigging and manipulation of the electoral roll. In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a data-driven counter-narrative to debunk these claims.
Minister Yadav detailed the specific figures regarding the number of names deleted from the rolls and the total count of objections raised during the revision process. By laying out these statistics, the central government aims to demonstrate the transparency and procedural integrity of the SIR exercise in the state.
This move is seen as a strategic effort to neutralize the opposition's narrative ahead of upcoming elections, ensuring that the public is aware of the factual basis behind the revisions made to the electoral rolls in Bihar.
