Chennai: Terming the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar by the Election Commission of India (ECI) as a tool to “tilt the balance” in favour of the BJP, Chief Minister M K Stalin said Tamil Nadu will raise its voice with full force and fight this “injustice” with every democratic weapon at its disposal.
He said the SIR 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. 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. Don’t play with fire. Any threat to our democracy will be met with firm resistance,” Stalin wrote on his X page.
He said to every citizen who believes in the Constitution: this is not just about one state, this is about the very foundation of the Republic. “Democracy belongs to the people. It will not be stolen,” Stalin said, even as his DMK MPs joined the opposition protests against the ECI’s move.
