Special Intensive Revision is being misused to erase voters of disadvantaged and dissenting communities, says CM Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin said on Friday that the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar was being misused to quietly erase voters of disadvantaged and dissenting communities, tilting the balance in favour of the BJP. “This is not about reform. It is about engineering outcomes.”

Mr. Stalin, who has been hospitalised since July 21 and underwent angiogram, said, “What happened in Bihar says it all: the Delhi regime knows the same electorate that once voted for it will now vote it out. That is why it is trying to stop them from voting altogether.”

The DMK has been part of the protests in New Delhi against the Special Intensive Revision. “If you cannot defeat us, you seek to delete us. Don’t play with fire. Any threat to our democracy will be met with firm resistance,” he said.

Mr. Stalin further said: “Tamil Nadu will raise its voice with full force. We will fight this injustice with every democratic weapon at our disposal.”

“To every citizen who believes in the Constitution, this is not just about one State, this is about the very foundation of our Republic. Democracy belongs to the people. It will not be stolen,” he said.
