  "summary": "The BJP has criticized the Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS leaders, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, over their opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Chavan questioned the opposition's stance, asking how infiltrators should decide the country's leadership and whether voters should be allowed to cast ballots from multiple locations. Ashish Shelar accused the opposition of adopting a \"double standard\" by questioning the Election Commission and EVMs only after suffering electoral defeats. He dismissed the Thackeray brothers' Garjana Morcha as a \"jackal's cry\" rather than a genuine protest.",
