Voter List War: Chidambarams Allege 'Diabolical Plot', EC Rebuts 'Absurd' Claims | India Today

A political showdown has erupted between the Congress party and the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The controversy was sparked by Congress MP P. Chidambaram’s allegation that 6.5 lakh migrant workers from Bihar have been illegally added as voters in Tamil Nadu. The Election Commission has dismissed this claim as "misleading" and "absurd," clarifying that the SIR process has not even commenced in Tamil Nadu. In an exclusive interview, Congress MP Karthi Chidambaram defends the allegation, stating, "This is a diabolical plot to change the electoral character of the entire electorate of Tamil Nadu." He argues that temporary migrant workers do not qualify as ‘ordinarily resident’ and questions the basis for their inclusion, demanding more transparency from the poll body. #kartichidambaram #voterlistrow #electioncommission #itwebvideos #tamilnadu #biharpolitics #karthichidambaram #pchidambaram #migrantvoters #electoralrolls #indianpolitics #sir #congress #voterrights #democracy #diabolicalplot
