TDP MP Labu Sri Krishna Devarayalu has defended the Election Commission’s handling of the Special Intensive Revision, citing Andhra Pradesh as an example of a transparent and planned exercise. He said the TDP had initially requested SIR in the state and argued that the ECI’s explanation over differences among commissioners was sufficient, as final decisions were unanimous. The opposition has demanded greater transparency and the CEC’s resignation, while BJP allies have sought further clarity over the controversy.
