Gujarat CM Patel Denounces Opposition Stance on Voter Roll Revision

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has accused opposition parties of hypocrisy, claiming they now oppose the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision process despite previously demanding the removal of bogus and duplicate entries to ensure electoral integrity, a move he labels as opportunistic politicization of democratic procedures.

Patel emphasized that the current revision involves transparent mechanisms, including doorstep verification and structured appeals. He argued that opposition leaders cannot demand error-free voter rolls while simultaneously obstructing the statutory processes designed to purge records of deceased or migrated individuals. According to the Chief Minister, democratic consistency requires adherence to these procedural facts rather than political maneuvering.

Simultaneously, the national political landscape remains tense as opposition figures pivot to broader claims of institutional decay. CPI Kerala State Secretary Binoy Viswam alleged in Thiruvananthapuram that the BJP and RSS are actively undermining voting rights, framing the opposition’s current struggles as a necessary defense of democratic institutions. In Kolkata, West Bengal Congress president Subhankar Sarkar voiced support for Rahul Gandhi, positioning him as the primary advocate for marginalized communities and students. Meanwhile, in Delhi, Congress MP Jebi Mather confirmed that party representatives have escalated complaints regarding alleged misconduct to local police, threatening further protests should authorities fail to take action following a review of CCTV footage.
