The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has raised alarms over violations in Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, warning that many citizens might be wrongfully stripped of their voting rights. The CPI(M) has called on opposition parties to stay alert to prevent disenfranchisement and ensure electoral fairness.
Addressing media, CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby accused the Election Commission of complicity in pushing a contentious agenda, asserting that the revision is loaded with irregularities. The party has vowed to escalate efforts in safeguarding democratic rights and fostering opposition solidarity against disenfranchisement.
Additionally, the CPI(M) criticized the economic policies of the ruling BJP, citing rising inequalities and unemployment. The party also highlighted the need for debates on pressing issues like US tariffs and communal tensions. It plans an extensive campaign against so-called US 'tariff terrorism' and the BJP's pro-Israel stance.
