Revanth questions voter decline despite population growth, calls for intensifying agitation against CEC

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday questioned the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the decline in voter numbers despite population growth and accused the BJP of using the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to delete eligible voters opposed to the party. He called for intensifying the agitation led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Addressing a protest organised by the INDIA bloc in Delhi, Mr. Revanth Reddy alleged that the BJP was using the ECI as a tool to retain power, just as it had allegedly used the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax Department.
