The Kerala government has decided to legally challenge the implementation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in the Supreme Court. The decision was made during an all-party meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The Chief Minister stated that legal advice would be sought both from the government’s perspective and from that of political parties. He also noted that conducting the SIR based on the 2002 voter list, despite having a revised list from the last Lok Sabha elections, is irrational and politically motivated — especially with the local body elections approaching.
