Pawar likely to take up Electoral Roll Irregularities, SIR In Parliament: Sanjay Singh

Mumbai, Nov 13 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh, MP, on Friday indicated that senior Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Sharad Pawar would take up the contentious issues of 'manipulation of electoral rolls' and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise during parliamentary proceedings.
He shared this assessment after a meeting with Pawar in Mumbai, where the two leaders exchanged views on national politics, electoral concerns and developments in Maharashtra.
Speaking to the media after the interaction, Singh said the visit was initially intended to enquire about Pawar's health. However, their conversation moved to the political developments surrounding the forthcoming special parliamentary session.
According to Singh, Pawar wanted to understand the issues expected to gain prominence during the session, particularly the deletion of voters' names and irregularities in the electoral process. The AAP MP said he briefed the veteran politician on the issues raised by his party, especially on Delhi's electoral rolls.
Singh indicated that Pawar was seriously interested in these matters and expressed confidence that the NCP (SP) president would articulate his concerns in Parliament.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to discuss Maharashtra's political developments, including the outcome of the recently held Legislative Council elections. Describing the interaction as pleasant, he wished Pawar a speedy recovery and return to active public life.
On the possibility of reunification of the two NCP factions, he declined to offer any opinion, saying the subject was discussed during his meeting with the NCP (SP) chief.
Asked whether Pawar could become part of the BJP-led Maharashtra government, the AAP MP pointed to the veteran leader's long-standing opposition to the BJP and questioned the political rationale behind such a possibility. Pawar is a staunch critic of the BJP, Singh said, adding there is little logic in the NCP (SP) leader joining a government led by the party he has consistently opposed.
The meeting assumes significance against the backdrop of opposition parties' continuing campaign over alleged discrepancies in voter lists and demands for greater accountability in the electoral process.
