The form 6 issue has already been highlighted and as the exercise progresses, more such issues will come up,” an MPCC member said.
The task force members will be visiting various cities of the state to meet BLAs to understand the issues with the SIR at the ground level, according to the MPCC functionaries. After taking note of the issues, the task force will be submitting its report on SIR which will help the party in challenging the process legally as well as creating a public opinion by showing lacunae with examples,” another MPCC member said. Pune: Congress has stepped up its opposition to the SIR by forming an ‘SIR task force’ in Maharashtra to point out the discrepancies in the ongoing exercise. The task force will be meeting the party’s booth-level agents (BLA) to get details of the deletions and additions of voters in the draft rolls. MPCC general secretary and the coordinator of the task force Abhijeet Sapkal gave details of the work being done by the team in understanding problems being faced by the voters during the SIR exercise. “Our party has already exposed how the SIR was carried out in other states to favour BJP. Similar attempts are being made in the ongoing exercise in Maharashtra which our party is now trying to highlight. The task force members will be preparing a report on the lacunae in the system. “BLAs are directly in touch with the BLOs and voters. They know the practical issues being faced during the process.
Following the protest rally, the newly appointed Congress party in charge for Maharashtra held a meeting with the ‘SIR task force’ members in Mumbai on Sunday.
