BJP Leaders Accuse Congress of Election Stunts Amid SIR Controversy

Senior BJP figures in Uttar Pradesh, including Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya and Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak, dismissed the India Block rally as a political stunt. Pathak labeled the opposition’s questioning of constitutional bodies as “old tricks” used only when they lose. He highlighted that the BJP, set to return with a massive majority for the third time in the state, has never attacked institutions after electoral victories in Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, or Kerala. The party framed the protest as a desperate attempt to deflect from the SIR issue surrounding the electoral roll revision.
