Special Intensive Revision: Opposition Accuses BJP, Akhilesh Questions Yogi’s Stand

Political tensions around the SIR process are escalating as opposition parties accuse the BJP of misusing voter verification. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered officials to identify infiltrators and create temporary detention centres, triggering criticism from Akhilesh Yadav, who argues that infiltration is the Union Home Minister’s responsibility. The Samajwadi Party has intensified its 2027 campaign with the PDA Prahari initiative and alleges that BJP leaders, along with the Election Commission, are cutting votes in strong SP seats. Meanwhile, Akhilesh and Mamata Banerjee claim that pressure from the SIR process has led to multiple BLO suicides, further fuelling political confrontation.
