Baijayant Panda was in Pune as part of BJP’s national programme to defend SIR
He said, “Around 3 crore voters’ names have been identified where, despite repeated attempts, verification could not be completed. BJP has launched an aggressive defence of SIR of electoral rolls following INDIA bloc’s nationwide campaign against the exercise, which alleges discrepancies in the process.
It is BJP’s national responsibility to defend these institutions against the opposition’s false narrative,” Panda said. He added that it is BJP’s responsibility to protect national institutions. As part of BJP’s national programme to defend SIR, Panda visited Pune, where he criticised Congress and other opposition parties for their protests. “The same opposition had questioned the Indian Armed Forces after they carried out strikes across the border. Now, they are targeting another institution, ECI. INDIA bloc has alleged discrepancies in the SIR exercise and accused ECI of favouring BJP. Countering the opposition, Panda claimed that Congress is trying to protect the names of ‘infiltrators’ who have been excluded during the SIR process. Who are they?
Pune : BJP national vice-president and Maharashtra in-charge Baijayant Panda on Thursday said the Election Commission of India (ECI) is the victim of a false narrative being spread by the opposition over Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Those who have infiltrated our country are unable to prove their citizenship, and hence, they are not coming forward for verification. ” BJP national vice-president and Maharashtra in-charge Baijayant Panda on Thursday assured that the differences between the state units of BJP and Shiv Sena would be resolved soon.
