ECI Victim of Opposition's False Narrative: BJP's Baijayant Panda

Times of India · politics

BJP national vice-president Baijayant Panda stated that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is being targeted by the opposition with a false narrative regarding voter roll revision. He asserted that it is the BJP's responsibility to defend national institutions, drawing parallels to past opposition criticism of the armed forces. Panda claimed that the INDIA bloc is attempting to protect 'infiltrators' by opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, alleging that around 3 crore voters could not be verified.
