India First With Gaurav Sawant: TMC, DMK vs BJP- Is Voter Roll Revision 'Silent, Invisible Rigging'?

On this episode of India First, the main focus is on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's controversial remarks in Bihar and the fierce political battle over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. While addressing a rally, Rahul Gandhi claimed that just 10% of the population controls key institutions like the army and judiciary, leaving out the other 90%. The show also delves into the massive protests led by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, who called the voter list cleanup 'silent, invisible rigging' by the BJP. The DMK in Tamil Nadu has also escalated the fight, moving the Supreme Court against the SIR process, terming it unconstitutional.

The programme explores both flashpoints, featuring spokespersons from the BJP, DMK, and a TMC-aligned analyst, alongside a former Joint Director of the Election Commission who explains the revision process.
