Overview
- BJP leaders held large ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ marches and padyatras on Tuesday in states including Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka with senior figures such as Amit Shah, J P Nadda and Shivraj Singh Chouhan leading events.
- The party publicly defended the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision and said roughly 13 crore deletions reflect categories listed as ASDD — absent, shifted, duplicate and dead — not improper removal.
- Amit Shah and other senior ministers challenged Opposition leaders to debate SIR and EVM claims in Parliament and pressed the government’s readiness to convene a special session on the issue.
- BJP spokespeople accused the INDIA bloc and Congress of trying to create an atmosphere of anarchy and protecting ‘infiltrators,’ and the party has planned a November 9–30 youth outreach in Karnataka to broaden its ground campaign.
- The campaign is a strategic effort to reshape voter sentiment and defend institutional credibility ahead of several state polls while coverage shows a clear partisan split over whether SIR represents necessary roll‑cleaning or politically driven disenfranchisement.
