Overview
- Speaking in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress leader said the method he alleged in Haryana was also used in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, and he pledged phased release of additional evidence.
- He asserted that the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is being used to institutionalise the alleged manipulation, a charge he linked to top BJP leaders and the Election Commission.
- The SIR began on November 4 across nine states and three Union Territories, with draft electoral rolls due on December 9 and final rolls scheduled for February 7, according to multiple reports.
- Election Commission officials have responded that the allegations are unfounded, noting no appeals were filed against the cited rolls and no instances of multiple voting were reported, and they say the revision seeks to clean the lists.
- Congress is pressing a nationwide signature campaign targeting five crore names, with large batches reported from Karnataka (about 1.12 crore), Punjab (over 26 lakh), Kerala (about 14–15 lakh) and Uttar Pradesh (about 17.95 lakh), ahead of a planned late‑November submission in Delhi.
