"There is no objection to the SIR. However, it is not right to steal votes through SIR or to deprive any citizen of the country of their right to vote. During the Bihar SIR, many irregularities were observed, and proof of them was provided. EC should conduct the electoral process without being biased. If the Election Commission is seen working in favour of the government, the opposition will counter it," Tiwari said.
