Political friction in New Delhi intensified sharply after Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin launched a scathing attack on the Congress party. This development unfolded after the Election Commission of India released a detailed official statement addressing the special intensive revision, commonly known as SIR. Following this clarification from the poll panel, the senior BJP leader took to social media to share a sharp post. In his statement, he explicitly accused Congress and its political allies of orchestrating a calculated attack on esteemed constitutional institutions by building their narrative entirely upon fabricated and baseless lies.
Targeting the Credibility of Constitutional Bodies
Expanding on his remarks, the BJP chief emphasized that the Election Commission has made it abundantly clear that every single directive and decision linked to the SIR process was executed with the unanimous consent of all three election commissioners. Furthermore, modifications made to Form-6 regarding voter registration have already been firmly upheld by the Supreme Court. Despite these clear legal facts, opposition factions chose to ignore the truth. He argued that the commission's transparency was fully established, yet Congress chose to level manufactured allegations driven by political malice, thereby attempting to undermine sacred constitutional institutions.
Double Standards in Electoral Acceptance
Nitin Nabin criticized the hypocritical approach of Congress and its regional partners, stating that their selective acceptance of democratic systems is glaringly obvious. He pointed out that whenever the exact same electoral procedures and frameworks deliver victories for these parties in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, they readily embrace the credibility and fairness of the system. However, the moment an electoral mandate in any other region goes against their political interests, they immediately pivot to questioning the integrity of the very institutions that successfully administer these polls. The BJP leader stressed that democracy cannot be respected selectively based on convenient outcomes.
Clearing the Air Amid Ongoing Controversy
He further noted that winning and losing remain entirely natural and recurring components of any democratic framework. However, resorting to malicious propaganda designed to erode the institutional trust of respected constitutional bodies is deeply unfortunate. It is worth noting that amid mounting allegations leveled against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the raging controversy surrounding the SIR process, the poll panel issued its definitive stance. The Election Commission released a point-by-point clarification regarding the reported differences among commissioners to put all speculations to rest.
Official Meeting and Proceedings at Nirvachan Sadan
Election Commission Director General for Media Ashish Goel formally presented the briefing to the public. He confirmed that a high-level meeting of the Election Commission was convened at Nirvachan Sadan in New Delhi on September 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM. During this session, the panel explicitly clarified that all decisions pertaining to the special intensive revision of electoral rolls were carried out strictly in accordance with established legal procedures and with the complete unanimous agreement of all commissioners. This decisive clarification effectively dismantles the narrative previously pushed by political detractors.
