BJP tears into BJD, Congress over SIR row, accuses them of misleading people

Bhubaneswar, Sep 25 (UNI) Odisha BJP General Secretary Biranchi Narayan Tripathy on Friday launched a sharp attack on the BJD and Congress, accusing the two parties of deliberately creating a controversy over a newspaper article and misleading people without producing any factual evidence.
Tripathy, in a press statement, alleged that the two parties were suffering from “mental depression” following repeated electoral defeats and rejection by the people and were now trying to create divisions in society to hide their own political shortcomings.
He said revision of electoral rolls was a constitutional provision and that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was being carried out by the Election Commission under its direct supervision and within a stipulated timeframe.
