The Samajwadi Party has strongly criticized the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, accusing it of being used as a political tool to sway election results. Samajwadi Party MP Virendra Singh expressed concerns, stating that the party would resist the SIR process in the state to prevent any manipulation of election outcomes.
Singh emphasized that the party’s focus is on preparing for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Discussions within the party are centered on strategizing for the upcoming elections and planning to challenge the government during the Budget Session of Parliament.
Recently, SP national president Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission and the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government regarding the draft of electoral rolls. Yadav alleged that the exercise was a deliberate attempt to remove votes from specific communities while favoring the ruling party, raising doubts about the credibility of the Election Commission.
