Stalin warns of voter purge plot in SIR

Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has accused the Election Commission and the national government of orchestrating a large-scale voter suppression strategy, claiming that the upcoming Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls aims to strip away votes from working-class citizens, Scheduled Castes, minorities and women, thereby tilting the assembly poll terrain in favour of the BJP-AIADMK alliance.

Stalin asserted that the BJP and the AIADMK lacked the grassroots mobilisation to defeat his Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and therefore had resorted to engineering the electorate. “They do not have the strength to meet the people during elections and are calculating to deprive them of their votes,” he stated. He further warned that the effort would prove to be “a wrong calculation’ in Tamil Nadu.
