‘With arrival of SSR, SIR has become zero’: Akhilesh Yadav’s swipe at EC’s new revision exercise in 17 states
Lucknow, Oct 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday trained guns at the Election Commission’s new drive titled Special Summary Revision (SSR), stating that it has made the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) "null and void". "SIR (voter revision drive) has become zero because SSR has arrived. Isn't that correct? If the SSR exercise is being conducted, then SIR has become zero now,” Akhilesh Yadav alleged in his address at a gathering here. The SSR exercise was rolled out by the poll panel on Thursday. In a notification, the EC directed the special revision of electoral rolls in 17 states and Union Territories and also mandated, for the first time, sharing of "machine-readable" versions of voter lists with the political parties.
