SIR row: Nadda backs EC, sends message to Rahul Gandhi and opposition

Union Minister JP Nadda and twelve Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Ministers have publicly defended the Election Commission of India (EC) following recent political controversy surrounding the 'SIR' row. The BJP leadership has accused opposition figures, including Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Akhilesh Yadav, of attempting to undermine the integrity of the electoral body through the dissemination of falsehoods.

The BJP maintains that the opposition's criticisms are part of a broader strategy to create public confusion regarding the electoral process. The party's coordinated response serves as a direct rebuttal to opposition claims, emphasizing institutional trust and challenging the motives behind the recent political rhetoric.
