The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has launched a scathing attack on INDIA bloc ally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning his “silence” over the alleged deletion of voters from Tamil Nadu’s electoral rolls.
His remarks came after INDIA bloc leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, marched from Parliament to the Election Commission office in Delhi on Tuesday, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the SIR exercise. The DMK spokesperson also sought clarification on why Gandhi had not publicly endorsed a statement attributed to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. “Why is he not endorsing Kharge jis statement that all State Governments elected after SIR should be dissolved? Annadurai asked.
Annadurai accused the Congress MP of “adopting inconsistent positions” on the electoral roll revision exercise and questioned why developments in Tamil Nadu had not received the same attention as the broader campaign against the Election Commission. Kharge had purportedly said that state governments elected after the SIR exercise should be dissolved.
