Congress urges ECI to defer SIR in Maharashtra; cites Ashadhi Wari, monsoon rains
The Opposition Congress in Maharashtra requested the Election Commission to postpone the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by a month. The party cited the annual pilgrimage, Ashadhi Wari, and potential heavy monsoon rains during the revision process as reasons for their request. They argued that millions of warkaris participating in the pilgrimage may be absent from their homes during the second phase of the SIR program, potentially leading to voter exclusion.
