Tamil Nadu's Battle for Electoral Transparency: A Clash of Democracy

Tamil Nadu CM M.K. Stalin criticized the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, claiming it disenfranchises voters. An all-party meeting is planned to address these concerns. Stalin accuses the BJP of undermining democracy, while opposition parties have mixed responses to the EC's actions.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has called for an all-party meeting on November 2 to address concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across 12 states, including Tamil Nadu.

Stalin voiced fears of disenfranchisement, accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of attempting to aid the BJP through the revision process. He highlighted past voter list removals in Bihar, expressing doubts about transparency.

While the AIADMK welcomed the revision, calling for systematic execution, the BJP dismissed Stalin's worries. Opposition parties remain divided over the process as the state prepares for upcoming elections.
