Congress first blamed EVMs, now targets SIR: Rajasthan BJP

Former Rajasthan BJP chief Ashok Parnami criticizes Congress for shifting from EVM complaints to attacking Special Intensive Review after election losses.

"Earlier, Congress kept crying about EVMs. After the Supreme Court's clear stand, they dropped that issue and have now started attacking the SIR. - Ashok Parnami"

Jaipur, Nov 20

Former Rajasthan BJP chief Ashok Parnami strongly criticised the confusion and baseless opposition being spread by the Congress over the Special Intensive Review (SIR).

He said Congress is facing continuous defeat—whether in Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, or Bihar—and its support base is steadily shrinking.

“Earlier, Congress kept crying about EVMs. After the Supreme Court's clear stand, they dropped that issue and have now started attacking the SIR. Congress is panicked after repeated defeats and is worried about its Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators,” he said.

Parnami added that opposing for the sake of opposing is not the job of a responsible opposition.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has left Congress completely issue-less. With nothing left to raise, they are misleading people.”

Calling the Youth Congress protest a “complete flop”, he said the demonstration in Jaipur collapsed within minutes.

“It shows that the youth of the country no longer trust Congress and refuse to be misled. The public is firmly with PM Modi.”

Parnami explained that the objective of the SIR is to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections.

“The process removes names of the deceased, migrants, incorrect entries, and duplicates to ensure only eligible voters remain.”

He alleged that Congress fears the deletion of fake voters, not genuine ones.

“Congress should first read and understand what SIR truly is. It is a strong tool to correct irregularities and strengthen the voter list. India’s electoral system is among the most transparent in the world, and initiatives like SIR reinforce people’s faith.”

Parnami said former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot cannot accept the rapid development under the Bhajan Lal government.

“Rajasthan’s double-engine government is setting new benchmarks. In two years, not a single paper leak occurred, while Gehlot’s term was marked by repeated paper leak scandals.”

As a young voter, I appreciate initiatives like SIR that make our electoral process more transparent. Congress should focus on real issues instead of creating unnecessary controversies.

While I support electoral reforms, I wish the BJP would also address concerns about SIR implementation more patiently. Some genuine voters might face issues during the process - the government should ensure proper awareness campaigns.

Living in Rajasthan for 3 years now, I can see the improvement in governance. No paper leaks is a huge achievement! Congress should accept defeat gracefully and work on rebuilding.

Parnami ji is absolutely right! Congress has become a party of excuses - first EVMs, now SIR. When will they understand that people want development, not drama? 🤦‍♂️

Removing duplicate and fake voters is essential for democracy. Why is Congress so scared of clean voter lists? This only raises questions about their intentions.
