Congress does not view ECI ‘s SIR as political, says Chief Minister

The Chief Minister clarified that the Congress party regards the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) as a non-political process. Addressing concerns about potential political motives, he emphasized that the party respects the Commission's mandate to ensure fair and transparent electoral rolls. This statement comes amidst a climate of heightened political sensitivity around electoral reforms. The Chief Minister further stated that the Congress will refrain from politicizing the SIR, underscoring the importance of maintaining trust in democratic institutions. By choosing not to engage in political maneuvering over the revision process, the party aims to focus on more pressing governance issues. This approach reflects Congress's commitment to upholding democratic integrity without compromising on its principles. In a bid to foster public confidence, the Chief Minister urged all political parties to support the Election Commission's efforts. By doing so, he believes that a collective, non-partisan endorsement of the SIR can strengthen electoral processes. The Congress's stance signals a broader call for unity and cooperation among political entities, ensuring that democracy remains the central pillar of governance.
