Stalin Accuses BJP of Voter Roll Manipulation
Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, M K Stalin, is accusing the Election Commission of India of trying to remove voters, especially from groups that might not support the current ruling party, in order to impact election results.
He believes the commission is using a system called Special Intensive Revision (SIR) to change the list of people who can vote.
Stalin feels this is a way to manipulate elections by reducing the number of voters who might vote against the BJP.
He's concerned this is not about improving the voting process, but about changing who can vote.
He warned against actions that threaten democracy.
