BJP Launches Counter-Offensive on Voter Roll Revision Issue
The Bharatiya Janata Party mounted a strong defense on Monday. The party addressed allegations of electoral manipulation from the Congress. BJP leaders firmly supported the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls in Rajasthan. They accused the Congress of spreading deliberate misinformation about the process.
Press Conference in New Delhi
BJP state president Madan Rathore and deputy chief minister Prem Chand Bairwa spoke to reporters in New Delhi. They held a press conference to clarify the party's position. Both leaders stated that the Congress was politicising a lawful and transparent procedure. They claimed this move aimed to hide the Congress's own political insecurity.
Rathore issued a stern warning about questioning the Election Commission. He said repeated attempts to challenge the commission's work threaten the entire electoral system's integrity. The BJP emphasized that such actions could undermine public trust in democratic processes.
Sharp Criticism of Congress Leadership
Madan Rathore directed pointed criticism at Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra. He alleged that making baseless accusations had become Dotasra's political habit. Rathore highlighted what he called double standards within the Congress party.
The BJP leader reminded everyone that the Congress implemented the same voter roll revision process multiple times while in power. He questioned why the party was now opposing a procedure it previously used and endorsed. This contradiction exposed inconsistent positions according to Rathore.
Prem Chand Bairwa reinforced these points during the press conference. He stressed that the Special Intensive Revision follows all legal requirements and maintains complete transparency. The deputy chief minister urged political parties to avoid spreading confusion about essential democratic exercises.
The BJP's strong response comes amid ongoing political tensions in Rajasthan. Both parties are preparing for upcoming electoral battles in the state. This exchange highlights the intense political competition surrounding voter registration processes.
