Stalin led the charge with mass demonstrations across Tamil Nadu, voicing concerns about the revision's potential to undermine the democratic rights of the state's voters. Stalin and his allies in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam claim that the revision threatens to disenfranchise large sections of the electorate, particularly in Tamil Nadu, a state with a long history of political mobilisation rooted in the right to vote.
