Chennai, Nov 2 (NationPress) An all-party meeting led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is set to take place in Chennai on Sunday to deliberate on the forthcoming Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, commencing next week statewide.

This gathering, occurring amidst rising political responses to the Election Commission's decision, aims to establish a collaborative framework for how different political factions will engage in this process.

Sources indicate that the special revision, akin to a similar initiative recently carried out in Bihar, is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, November 4, in Tamil Nadu.

The ruling DMK and its coalition partners have expressed apprehensions regarding the timing and methodology of the revision, suggesting it may be exploited for political gain. In light of this, Chief Minister Stalin has initiated a thorough consultation to guarantee that all political perspectives are acknowledged before the official commencement of the revision.

The meeting will start at 10 a.m. at Thyagaraya Nagar, with invitations sent not only to the DMK's allies but also to parties outside the ruling coalition.

Following the Chief Minister's instructions, senior DMK officials—including organizing secretary Poochi Murugan, Port Kaja, and Austin—have personally delivered invitation letters to leaders from various parties over the past two days.

While significant opposition groups like the AIADMK, BJP, and the Anbumani Ramadoss faction of the PMK have opted not to participate, several other non-aligned parties have confirmed their attendance. These include the DMDK, Tamizhaga Makkal Katchi (TAMAK), Thamizhaga Vetri Kazham (TVK), and smaller regional parties. Reports suggest that approximately 60 political parties across Tamil Nadu received invitations.

Political analysts predict that the Sunday meeting will concentrate on obtaining assurances from the Election Commission to uphold transparency and fairness throughout the revision process.

Participating parties are expected to present specific recommendations regarding voter verification, inclusion of new voters, and rectification of discrepancies in the rolls. The discussions are also anticipated to influence the state government's forthcoming actions, particularly in its coordination with the Election Commission and district officials.

As the opposition raises concerns about the impartiality of the process, Sunday’s all-party consultation is viewed as a pivotal political moment in anticipation of the 2026 Assembly elections.
