The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Sunday rejected veteran Congress leader P Chidambaram’s claims that 6.5 lakh people were added as voters in Tamil Nadu, calling them “misleading and baseless”. In a statement, the poll body also urged politicians not to spread false information with regard to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise being conducted by it at the national level.
