Hyderabad: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday launched a scathing attack on the SIR of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, alleging that it was “NRC in disguise” and part of a larger conspiracy to remove voters opposed to the BJP.
Yadav, who is in Hyderabad to attend the Vision India – AI Summit on Saturday, also held meetings with Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and BRS leaders, including its working president K T Rama Rao.
Addressing reporters, Yadav said the Election Commission should focus on increasing voter participation instead of allowing large-scale deletions.
