SIR Row News | Satish Jarkiholi Clarifies SIR Remark, Says He Never Endorsed ECI Process

Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi has clarified his remarks on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, saying his statement was misunderstood and did not amount to endorsing the exercise. He alleged that attempts were made to remove Congress-supporting voters from electoral rolls using Form-7, but claimed these efforts were thwarted in Karnataka, beginning in Belagavi. Jarkiholi credited Rahul Gandhi and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, reiterating his opposition to the illegal deletion of eligible voters' names.
