Congress Questions Kerala CM’s Silence on Electoral Roll Revisions

The Congress party has raised questions regarding the silence of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, an issue that has garnered significant attention from various opposition parties. K.C. Venugopal, a Congress leader, stated that the silence of the Kerala CM is a deviation from the stance taken by other opposition leaders, including M.K. Stalin, Mamata Banerjee, and Hemant Soren, who have all opposed SIR. Venugopal emphasized that the irregularities in voter lists before elections are a universal concern, but Vijayan’s silence on this national issue stands in contrast to his comments on state-specific matters.
