GBA polls: Congress to push for use of 2025 electoral rolls
The Congress is considering using the 2025 electoral rolls for upcoming elections to five corporations in the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) due to a delay in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. The Supreme Court has set August 31 as the deadline for completing the GBA election process, which is currently underway alongside the SIR. The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president B.K. Hariprasad and Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar discussed the issue on Wednesday, but the Election Commission's draft electoral roll publication date of August 5 remains uncertain.
