DMK called all party meeting, TMC-Congress said the decision was one-sided, know why the opposition came out against EC

The controversy has started just hours after the Election Commission of India (EC) announced the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in 12 states and union territories. The states where this process is to begin include opposition-ruled Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, where assembly elections are to be held next year.

Tam Lanadu was the first to raise the flag of protest. Chief Minister M.K. The Stalin-led DMK government has termed the process as a conspiracy to snatch away the voting rights of the people of the state and has decided to call an all-party meeting on the issue on November 2. DMK and its allies targeted the BJP government at the Center and said that this step is an attempt to weaken and defame democracy. He says that it will be very difficult to do this work on such a large scale during the north-east monsoon in November-December.

The party alliance said, “We are not saying that the voter list should not be revised, but it is wrong to do it in such a hurry. When assembly elections are going to be held in the state in April, then this step is not appropriate.” DMK alleged that Muslims, Dalits and women were targeted during SIR in Bihar. The statement said, “Tamil Nadu will not allow any such conspiracy to succeed. We will together oppose it.”

West Bengal and Kerala government also targeted

The ruling TMC of West Bengal and the CPI(M) government of Kerala also made sharp attacks on the Election Commission. TMC MP Derek O’Brien said, “The SIR in Bihar was just a trial, the real target is Bengal. The public will answer to the commission in a few months, which has now become completely biased.”

Senior CPI(M) leader M.A. Baby said that the Commission’s decision is one-sided and hasty. He alleged, “When the Supreme Court is hearing the validity of SIR in Bihar, taking this process forward is an insult to democratic standards.”

Congress also raised questions on the intentions of the Election Commission

Congress also raised questions on the intentions of the Election Commission. Party spokesperson Pawan Kheda said, “In Bihar, the shortcomings of the SIR had to be rectified by the intervention of even the Supreme Court. Now the same experiment is being repeated in other states. It is clear that the Election Commission is now working under the control of the BJP.”
