Paswan urges Opposition to engage CEC on electoral roll concerns

Chirag Paswan, president of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has advocated for opposition parties to adopt a more strategic approach in addressing concerns related to the Special Inclusive Review (SIR) of electoral rolls. Speaking on the matter, Paswan suggested that opposition representatives should reach out to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar through established institutional channels rather than relying on repeated public protests.

According to Paswan, direct dialogue with the election commission leadership offers a more pragmatic pathway to resolving disputes over electoral roll revisions. He emphasized that formal communication and engagement could prove more effective in addressing the substantive concerns raised by opposition parties regarding the integrity and inclusivity of the electoral process.

The LJP(Ram Vilas) leader's comments reflect broader tensions between opposition parties and the Election Commission over the methodology and implementation of the Special Inclusive Review. Opposition groups have raised concerns about potential disenfranchisement and procedural irregularities in the electoral roll revision process.

Paswan's intervention suggests an attempt to redirect opposition strategy toward institutional negotiation and constructive problem-solving mechanisms, moving away from confrontational tactics that have dominated recent discourse on the electoral roll issue.
