New Delhi’s political landscape is set for a significant shift as the Election Commission of India launches a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists. BJP Delhi President Virender Sachdeva has enthusiastically endorsed this move, highlighting its potential to cleanse the rolls of illegal foreign nationals.
In a strongly worded statement, Sachdeva asserted that the SIR process will effectively identify and excise names of undocumented Bangladeshi and Rohingya individuals allegedly residing in the capital. ‘This is a crucial step towards electoral integrity,’ he declared, emphasizing the long-standing concerns over voter list manipulations.
The BJP has mobilized dedicated teams at state and district levels to assist genuine voters during this revision. Each team includes a legal expert to provide on-the-ground guidance, ensuring no eligible citizen faces hurdles. Sachdeva reaffirmed the party’s commitment to supporting the Election Commission’s efforts for a transparent and accurate voter registry.
This initiative extends beyond Delhi, covering 22 states and Union Territories including Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, and Maharashtra, with implementation slated for April 2026. As political parties gear up, the SIR promises to fortify India’s democratic foundations by upholding the principle of ‘one citizen, one vote.’
Experts view this as a proactive measure against electoral fraud, potentially reshaping voter demographics in urban centers like Delhi. With BJP’s proactive assistance networks, the process is poised for smooth execution, setting a precedent for nationwide electoral reforms.
