Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Friday hit out at the Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision of voter list alleging it is being misused to quietly erase voters from disadvantaged and dissenting communities, tilting the balance in favour of the BJP.
“This is not about reform. It is about engineering outcomes,” he charged in a post on X. Stalin, who has been in hospital for the past five days after he felt giddy during walking, said, “What happened in Bihar says it all: the Delhi regime knows the same electorate that once voted for it will now vote it out. That is why it is trying to stop them from voting altogether. If you cannot defeat us, you seek to delete us”
The DMK leader warned: “Don’t play with fire.” Any threat to our democracy will be met with firm resistance, he said adding, Tamil Nadu will raise its voice with full force. “We will fight this injustice with every democratic weapon at our disposal. To every citizen who believes in the Constitution: this is not just about one state, this is about the very foundation of our Republic. Democracy belongs to the people. It will not be stolen,” Stalin said.
