MP BJP Chief Hemant Khandelwal Targets Opposition Over Repeated Poll Defeats, Defends SIR During MP's Khandwa Visit

Khandwa, a city in Madhya Pradesh, witnessed BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal's first visit, where he criticized the opposition for attempting to deflect blame for their repeated electoral failures. Khandelwal addressed the ongoing protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, emphasizing the importance of both the right to express dissent and the need for orderly demonstrations.

He reaffirmed the government's stance against actions that benefit foreign entities or weaken the nation. Regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Khandelwal defended the practice, stating it is not a novel approach but rather a continuation of previous efforts. To improve voter lists, Khandelwal urged the opposition to support efforts aimed at identifying and correcting discrepancies like duplicate names, entries of deceased individuals, and the inclusion of foreign nationals.

He urged the opposition to welcome such initiatives while ensuring that no rightful voter is inadvertently removed from the list. During his visit to the Nimar region, Khandelwal met with the BJP core group to discuss the party's organization, booth-level activities, and future political challenges. He stressed the importance of fortifying the party's grassroots network and maintaining the engagement of its workers. Khandelwal's journey continued with a stop in Hyderabad, following a T20 cricket match in Indore.
