ECI’s ‘unanimous clarification’ on SIR puts to rest all misconceptions: says A.P. CM Naidu
Attempts to undermine global confidence in India’s democratic framework or electoral processes for short-term political gain are deeply unfortunate, he says
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has affirmed that the unanimous clarification issued by the Election Commission, overseen by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and his colleagues S.S. Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has dispelled all misconceptions about the process. This unanimous decision, made jointly with strict adherence to institutional protocols, reaffirmed the integrity and credibility of India’s constitutional bodies, according to Mr. Naidu's statement on social media on September 26, 2026.
He emphasized that attempts to undermine global trust in India’s democratic framework or electoral procedures for political gain were "deeply unfortunate." Mr. Naidu highlighted that electoral outcomes reflect the people's mandate, and in a strong democracy, leadership entails accepting both successes and failures with grace and humility.
He added that it is the collective duty of leaders across party lines to maintain public confidence in India’s democratic process.
