‘SIR is a calculated ploy – the place residents are being harassed, and the deaths of BLOs from pointless stress are dismissed as ‘collateral injury’. This just isn’t a failure, it is a conspiracy – a sacrifice of democracy to guard these in energy,’ Rahul Gandhi stated on November 23.
‘Under the guise of SIR, chaos has been unleashed throughout the nation – the consequence? In three weeks, 16 BLOs have misplaced their lives. Heart assaults, stress, suicides – SIR is not any reform, it is an imposed tyranny. The ECI has created such a system the place residents should flip by means of 1000’s of scanned pages of a 22-year-old voter listing simply to seek out themselves. The intent is obvious – the best voters get exhausted and quit, and vote theft continues unabated. India builds cutting-edge software program for the world, but India’s Election Commission remains to be caught on erecting a jungle of paper. If the intent had been pure, the listing can be digital, searchable, and machine-readable – and the ECI would take sufficient time to deal with transparency and accountability, as an alternative of blindly pushing work in a 30-day frenzy,’ he added.
