Congress has instructed its grassroots units to step up a campaign against the Chief Election Commissioner and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise by organising “village chaupals” by December 15 and reading out the names of voters whose entries were deleted, urging workers to act as “vote rakshaks.” In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has directed district‑level leaders to launch a campaign aimed at restoring the names of eligible Hindu voters allegedly removed from electoral rolls during the SIR, with the effort slated to begin ahead of the 2027 polls.
