Ramesh warned that the Election Commission’s order to restart Special Summary Revision (SSR) in 17 states after a two‑year gap is a response to mass street protests against vote theft. He urged the commission to stop the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) programme, describing it as a tool that threatens the constitutional voting rights of more than 130 million Indians. According to him, continuing SIR would further jeopardise electoral integrity.
