Ashwini Vaishnaw hits back at Congress over EVMs, defends voter roll revision

What's behind this

Sambit Patra said Rahul Gandhi has no data, only galata, in criticism of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Home Minister Amit Shah challenged Gandhi to stop making street allegations about SIR and to debate the issue in Parliament, speaking at a gathering in Karnal. BJP national vice‑president Ram Madhav also accused Gandhi and Revanth Reddy of spreading lies to malign the SIR process. The Congress party replied by demanding Shah give up the Home Ministry charge, return to the BJP, and questioned his handling of internal security, including ongoing violence in Manipur.
