New Delhi, Aug 11 (UNI) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today termed as an “attempt to create chaos in the country” the noisy march taken out by the Opposition parties, including Congress and the INDI alliance, from the Parliament House to the Election Commission office in Delhi against the ongoing Bihar’s electoral revision process.
At a press conference here, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hit back at the opposition, accusing Congress and Rahul Gandhi of having an “anti-constitutional attitude”. He also dismissed the march as a “false agenda”.
Targeting Congress, he said their language resembled that of “anti-national elements”.
He said SIR (Systematic Voter’s List Revision) is not a new process and has been conducted before. “However, the Opposition is using it as a pretext to spread falsehoods and create chaos in the country,” he said.
Pradhan said, “The country is watching those who work against the Constitution, led by Rahul Gandhi. The Opposition repeatedly raises doubts over EVMs, spreads lies, and tries to undermine faith in the election process. This is a deliberate strategy to spread unrest in the country.”
The senior BJP leader also urged the Opposition to raise their concerns in Parliament instead of taking out marches on the streets. He pointed out that even during discussions on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, the Opposition and Congress lacked a solid agenda. He accused them of diverting public attention from real issues.
The Union Minister explained that SIR is not a new process but a regular exercise by the Election Commission across all states to update and organise the voter list. He said, “The Opposition has no clear policy; they are only playing politics.”
He also accused Congress of lying on several issues like EVMs, Rafale, and China border disputes. Pradhan said, “Questioning India’s army and sovereignty is wrong. The Opposition should clarify whose side they are on.” UNI AJ SSP
