New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday accused opposition parties of displaying "peak hypocrisy" by attacking the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that they back the same exercise in states where it suits them politically but oppose it elsewhere to create an excuse for electoral defeats.
The charge came after 23 political parties and an Independent MP wrote to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, raising concerns over the SIR process, the EC's functioning and other election-related issues.
