Describing the Congress-led protests against the special intensive revision (SIR) as a “political drama” staged by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday (October 6, 2026) accused him and the Congress of “lying” to mislead the people. The Election Commission of India’s (ECI) formal statement on the issue exposed their claims, it said.

At a late-evening press conference, BJP MP and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi cited the ECI statement to assert that the poll panel did not receive any request from either the Congress party or any other constituent of the INDIA bloc for a meeting.
