Congress party General Secretary for Communications Jairam Ramesh has posted on his X page, criticizing the Election Commission for frequently changing the procedures for Special Intensive Revision.
“Another day, another U-turn.
The Election Commission of India has suddenly directed 7 states/Union Territories to include voters who were left out in the ongoing SIR exercise.

The Election Commission has admitted it
Through this, the Election Commission has belatedly admitted that voters were wrongly removed and excluded under the ASDD (shifted persons, deceased persons, fake voters) category.
Following the nationwide outrage and anger sparked by this SIR exercise, which has stripped more than 130 million Indians of their voting rights, the Election Commission has been making one revision after another.
SIR is the new form of “vote theft”
Every new order raises only one question. What is the purpose of this bureaucratic chaos that has made every Indian a subject?
These successive explanations and revisions expose the real conspiracy of that malicious Prime Minister-Home Minister alliance. They have been caught red-handed!
Another day, yet another U-turn. The Election Commission of India has just issued instructions to include left-out voters in the on-going SIR in seven states/UTs. This is a belated admission that wrongful deletion and exclusion has indeed taken place under the ASDD (Absent, Shifted, Dead, Duplicate) category. The ECI is carrying out corrective after corrective after the nation-wide outrage and anger over SIR which has robbed over 13 crore Indians of their constitutional right to vote. Every new set of orders begs the question: what was the point of this bureaucratic mess that every Indian has been put through? These repeated clarifications and amendments actually expose the true intent of the diabolical PM-HM. They have been caught out. SIR is the latest form of Vote Chori. And now that the Chori has been caught, the ECI and the PM-HM duo are doing everything to cover their tracks. Every corrective also reinforces what has become abundantly clear: 1. Gyanesh Kumar must go. 2. SIR must be suspended.

S.I.R. is a new form of “vote theft.” Now that this theft has been exposed, the Election Commission and the Prime Minister–Home Minister alliance are doing everything they can to cover their tracks.
Every revision only confirms, over and over again, something that was already clearly evident.
1. Gyanesh Kumar must resign immediately!
2. The S.I.R. exercise must be immediately suspended!”
