Kalaburagi: AIDSO, AIDYO demand scrapping of SIR

Members of the All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) and the All India Democratic Youth Organisation (AIDYO) staged a protest in Kalaburagi on Sunday, demanding the scrapping of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protesters accused the Election Commission of acting in favour of the BJP-led Union government and raised concerns that the revision process could lead to the arbitrary deletion of eligible voters, undermining their democratic rights.

AIDSO district president N.K. Tuljaram condemned the police action against student and youth activists protesting against the SIR process and detention of several national and State-level leaders at New Delhi, while AIDYO district president S.H. Jagannath alleged that the revision process threatened democratic rights and demanded greater accountability from the Election Commission.
