SIR aimed to benefit NDA, alleges Congress

Former Member of Parliament K. Jayakumar, North Andhra in-charge for the ‘Vote Bachao-Desh Bachao’ agitation, has accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of using the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) solely to aid the BJP led NDA alliance. During a review meeting in Srikakulam, Jayakumar and Srikakulam Congress Committee president Sanapala Annaji Rao called for a month-long agitation, targeting the alleged removal of minority and disadvantaged voters in a systematic manner.

They urged party leaders to highlight this issue and organized a series of protests in villages, mandals, and Srikakulam town. Jayakumar, a former Member of Parliament from Tiruvallur in Tamil Nadu, stated that their agitation against vote theft had gained national attention and hoped that people of Andhra Pradesh would reject the NDA in the 2029 general elections.

G. Srinivas, AICC youth wing secretary, Bharat, A.P. ST Cell chairman, Congress Party city president Rella Suresh, East Coast Railway Advisory Body former member Narasannapeta Congress leader Mantri Narasimha Murthy, and others also attended the meeting.
