Hariprasad, the President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), has called on party cadres to safeguard the voting rights of citizens during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Speaking at a divisional-level awareness program in Mysuru on June 28, 2026, Hariprasad emphasized that voting is the most vital democratic right and must not be compromised during the revision process. He highlighted the importance of ensuring that no eligible voter loses their right to vote, warning that such deletions could undermine the very foundation of democracy. His remarks came amid growing concerns over the potential misuse of the SIR exercise to remove legitimate voters, a tactic allegedly employed by rival parties.
The SIR exercise, which began across the state on June 30, involves a comprehensive review of electoral rolls to update records and eliminate ineligible voters. Hariprasad criticized the BJP for using various tactics to manipulate election outcomes, citing the Rajya Sabha election in Madhya Pradesh as an example. He also referenced similar electoral roll revisions in West Bengal and Bihar, urging party workers to remain vigilant and protect the voting rights of genuine electors. To counteract these threats, the Congress launched a campaign titled “Congress Nadey Nimma Mata Rakshane Kade,” meaning “Congress marches toward protecting your vote.” The campaign aims to mobilize party members to participate in house-to-house enumerations, ensuring that no eligible voter is wrongfully excluded.
Siddaramaiah, the former Chief Minister and a prominent Congress leader, echoed Hariprasad’s warnings during the same event. He cautioned Congress MLAs, party workers, and defeated candidates to stay alert during the SIR process, emphasizing that any oversight could lead to the deletion of eligible voters’ names and potentially cause their political downfall. Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate electoral rolls for political gain, arguing that such actions undermined constitutional values and democratic institutions. He stressed that protecting voters’ rights was essential to preserving the integrity of the electoral system and the broader democratic framework.
The SIR process has sparked tensions between the Congress and the BJP, with accusations of administrative misconduct and procedural violations. Karnataka BJP president B.Y. Vijayendra accused the state government of facilitating violations during the SIR, claiming that officials were being pressured to deviate from standard procedures. He pointed to instances where Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were directed to distribute forms from public spaces rather than conducting door-to-door verifications. Vijayendra also alleged that some MLAs were influencing BLOs to work from their offices instead of independently verifying voter eligibility. These claims prompted him to request the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate and correct any irregularities.
Home Minister Priyank Kharge responded to Vijayendra’s allegations, clarifying that the state government had not framed the rules or directed BLOs on how to conduct the SIR. He asserted that the ECI was responsible for addressing procedural concerns and that the Congress had raised 12 specific questions with the commission without receiving responses. Kharge acknowledged the anxiety and confusion among vulnerable groups, including Scheduled Castes, minorities, and backward communities, and emphasized the need for transparency in the SIR process. Despite the disagreement, both sides agreed that the SIR was necessary but should be executed fairly and without bias.
Meanwhile, in Himachal Pradesh, political dynamics are shifting as efforts intensify to create a third political force capable of challenging the dominance of the Congress and BJP. Former BJP minister Ram Lal Markanda, who was expelled from the party in 2024, has been engaging with leaders from various parties, including those disillusioned with the current political landscape. He suggested that a new party might emerge in March or April 2027, aiming to provide a platform for sidelined leaders and promote policies focused on employment and development. Markanda criticized the BJP for sidelining experienced leaders and replacing them with Congress defectors, while also accusing the Congress of failing to adequately represent its grassroots supporters. The proposed third front seeks to offer an alternative that prioritizes the interests of the public and respects the contributions of seasoned politicians.

Trdi, da bodo napori, da bi oslabili stranko, tako da jo vključijo v polemike, spodleteli. Tajet je dejal, da so bili posamezniki, ki so vložili obtožbe, predhodno izključeni iz stranke zaradi domnevne tajne pogodbe z Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) v Matathuru in izdaje stranke in njenih podpornikov. Trdil je, da ti posamezniki ne imajo več verodostojnosti znotraj kongresa ali med javnostjo in jih obtožil, da še naprej podpirajo "neposvetno zavezništvo" z BJP.

Hindustan TimesNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 90Objektivnost 80pred 6 dneviIn Himachal Pradesh, efforts are underway to form a new political party aimed at challenging the existing two-party dominance between the BJP and Congress ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Former BJP minister Ram Lal Markanda, expelled from the party in 2024, claims he has been engaging with leaders from both major parties who feel marginalized. He suggests the new party could launch in March or April 2025, allowing time for groundwork in constituencies. The proposed party aims to ensure respect for senior leaders and focus on public welfare. Current BJP and Congress leaders reportedly feel sidelined, prompting calls for this third option. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu acknowledges the historical possibility of a 'third front' but implies it might weaken the BJP's opposition.

BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra accused the State government of facilitating violations during the SIR process, alleging misuse of administrative resources and interference by legislators with Booth Level Officers (BLOs).

The HinduNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 70pred 4 urami U.P. BJP tries to shore up women voter numbers with SIR leaving wide gender gapThe article discusses the efforts by the Uttar Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to address the underrepresentation of women voters in the state's electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Review (SIR). With assembly elections scheduled for early 2027, the BJP has prioritized enrolling women who were omitted from the updated voter lists. Despite revisions, many women who moved to different districts due to marriage remain unregistered in both their native and in-law districts. According to the State Election Commission, Uttar Pradesh has a significantly lower percentage of female voters compared to males, highlighting a gender disparity. The BJP is deploying personnel to ensure these women are registered, as maintaining a strong female voter base is crucial for their electoral strategy. Nationally, the SIR has led to a decline in female voter numbers, except in Tamil Nadu.

Hariprasad, predsednik kongresnega odbora Karnataka Pradesh (KPCC), je pozval kongresne voditelje in delavce, naj zaščitijo imena upravičenih volivcev pred izbrisom med posebno intenzivno revizijo (SIR) volilnih seznamov v Karnataki. Cilj SIR, ki se začne 30. junija, je posodobiti volilne sezname, vendar je Hariprasad poudaril, da se kongres upira izbrisom na podlagi kaste ali drugih nezasluženih razlogov. Poudaril je pomen glasovanja kot temeljne demokratične pravice in pozval k budnosti, da bi preprečili odvzema pravice. Hariprasad je omenil podobne vaje v Zahodnem Bengalu in Biharju in obtožil BJP, da uporablja taktike za vplivanje na volitve, pri čemer je kot primer navedel nedavno volitve Rajya Sabha v Madhya Pradeshu.

The HinduNeodvisenLevoDejstva 80Objektivnost 60pred 6 dnevi BJP bo uporabil SIR, da vas politično uniči, če ne boste budni, opozarja Siddaramaiah kongresne voditeljeNekdanji glavni minister Siddaramaiah je ob naslovu na kongresne voditelje in delavce v Mysuru opozarjal, naj ostanejo budni med posebno intenzivno revizijo (SIR) volilnih seznamov, ki poteka od torka do 29. julija. Trdil je, da bi BJP lahko zlorabila postopek za odstranitev imen upravičenih volivcev, kar bi lahko privedlo do "političnega uničenja" kongresnih članov. Siddaramaiah je poudaril pomen zagotavljanja, da se ne izbrišejo pravi volivci, in pozval delavce stranke, da pozorno spremljajo revizijo. Obtožil je BJP, da spodkopava ustavne vrednote in demokracijo z manipuliranjem volilnih seznamov za politične koristi. Poleg tega je poudaril ranljivost revnih, kmetov in manjšin - tradicionalnih podpornikov kongresa - in opozoril, da bi lahko celo majhna izguba njihovih glasov vplivala na volilne rezultate na območjih, kjer je tesno tekmovanje.
