Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav criticized the SIR of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, suggesting it masks a larger plot to exclude non-BJP supporters. In Hyderabad, he discussed this issue and AI's growing influence at Vision India - AI Summit, emphasizing a need for unity over division in politics.

In a sharp critique, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav attacked the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, claiming it serves as a veiled National Register of Citizens (NRC) initiative aimed at disenfranchising anti-BJP voters.

During his visit to Hyderabad for the Vision India - AI Summit, Yadav underscored the expanding role of artificial intelligence across various sectors and called for a unified vision for the nation's progress. He met with Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and BRS leaders, advocating for politics centered on aspiration rather than division.
