New Delhi, Dec 2 (NationPress) The political uproar surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls escalated on Tuesday, as BJP MP Shashank Mani Tripathi vehemently condemned the opposition for sowing confusion and undermining constitutional institutions for their own political advantage.

Addressing the protests from the opposition within the Lok Sabha, Tripathi stated, “These slogans are detrimental to the nation because it’s evident that the electorate of Bihar has delivered a clear mandate regarding the SIR.”

He intensified his critique by labeling the opposition’s grievances as predictable and politically charged. “This is the classic tactic of the Congress party. Whenever they face defeat or challenges, they resort to blaming the EVMs, the Election Commission, or the SIR. However, if by chance they secure a win – which is becoming increasingly uncommon – then suddenly there are no issues at all,” Tripathi commented.

These remarks were made following a chaotic day in the Winter Session of the Lok Sabha, where opposition members vocally protested against alleged “vote theft” in recent elections and the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls affecting 12 states and union territories.

The House experienced its second adjournment of the day, with the initial tumultuous session commencing at 11 a.m. and the reconvened gathering at noon collapsing shortly thereafter. Opposition MPs surged into the Well of the House, chanting “Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhor!” and brandishing placards demanding an urgent discussion on what they termed a “conspiracy to erase legitimate voters” through the SIR process.

Deputy Speaker Sandhya Rai, presiding over the session, made multiple appeals for order, assuring the protesting MPs that none of the 20-plus adjournment motion notices submitted by the opposition had been dismissed. She expressed that the issues could be resolved if the House was permitted to function smoothly.

Simultaneously, Tripathi targeted the West Bengal government, dismissing recent assertions from its leaders as “groundless” and “unconstitutional.”

He declared, “The situation in Bengal, where the MLAs and the Chief Minister are making such unfounded claims, is neither constitutional nor justified. I believe the government there requires correction, and the public is observing everything. In the forthcoming Bengal elections, the populace will overwhelmingly back the Bharatiya Janata Party. Only when this government collapses will Bengal transition from chaos to proper governance and towards progress.”
