BJP MLA Rejects Opposition Allegations Over Electoral Roll Revision
Nallamilli Ramakrishna Reddy said the BJP is not controlling the voter-list revision.
He called the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR, a legal process for checking electoral rolls.
He said all political parties have representatives involved in elections.
He argued that parties with complaints should use official procedures.
He accused Opposition parties of spreading misinformation.
He also criticised Rahul Gandhi and the Congress.
These criticisms were made by Nallamilli and were not accompanied by an Opposition response in the article.
He referred to a Supreme Court ruling on Bihar’s SIR process.
He said the revision is meant to keep voter lists accurate, not to help one party.
BJP SIR convener Nallamilli Ramakrishna Reddy said the party has no role in the revision exercise.
He described the Special Intensive Revision as a constitutionally mandated process conducted under election law.
Nallamilli accused Opposition parties of spreading misinformation and relying on fabricated media reports.
He said political parties should submit specific objections through prescribed legal and administrative mechanisms.
He cited the Bihar revision and a Supreme Court judgment as evidence that SIR is not designed to favour the BJP.
