Rahul Gandhi creating confusion over SIR and demeaning Election Commission, says BJP

The Andhra Pradesh BJP has criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for creating confusion in the minds of the public on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and demeaning the office of the Election Commission of India (ECI).

Addressing a media conference here on Tuesday (September 29, 2026), the party’s State spokesperson Jalli Madhusudhan said the nation expected the Leader of the Opposition to behave responsibly and provide constructive suggestions to the government, but said his recent outbursts against the constitutional office of the ECI did not befit his status.

Maintaining that the SIR was a result of proposals mooted by various parties, including the regional parties, in the past to rectify anomalies in the voters’ list, Mr. Madhusudhan asked how Mr. Gandhi could oppose it now on ‘flimsy grounds’.
