Rahul Gandhi Sticks To 'Vote Chori' Line as SIR Debate Heats Up In Parliament

The long-anticipated debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process opened in Parliament today, with the Opposition attempting to corner the government over alleged voter list manipulation. However, Rahul Gandhi's address triggered mixed reactions - even within Opposition circles - as many felt he repeated earlier accusations of "vote chori" instead of presenting new evidence or a fresh strategy. His speech, marked by interruptions and protests over not being allowed to speak, focused heavily on institutional "capture," the Election Commission's role, and legal changes made by the government. Critics argued that Rahul missed a key opportunity to set the narrative on SIR at a crucial political moment.
