PTR Explodes Over SIR Timing: “EC Dragging India to a Democratic Nadir?”
Tamil Nadu IT Minister Dr. PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan speaks to NDTV’s Sam Daniel on why the DMK wants the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) halted in the state. From “benign neglect or malintent?” to the EC’s lack of machine-readable data, unrealistic workloads, poor form distribution, and fears of disenfranchisement ahead of the 2026 polls — PTR lays out a detailed, explosive critique. Congressman Greg Landsman The Election Commission has denied the allegations, calling SIR a routine exercise to keep the voters list pure.
