Karnataka BJP Cheif accuses Congress of running electoral roll revision inside mosques

Karnataka BJP President and MLA, B.Y. Vijayendra, on Friday alleged that the Karnataka government was misusing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and conducting the exercise from mosques instead of following the Election Commission’s (EC) prescribed procedures.

Addressing a Press conference at the BJP headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, in Bengaluru, B.Y. Vijayendra alleged that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were being misused during the ongoing SIR process.

“BLOs are being



misused under the SIR exercise. Officials are being made to sit inside mosques to complete the SIR process. The state government is carrying out a conspiracy against Hindus,” B.Y. Vijayendra alleged.

He further claimed that in Sagar town in Shivamogga district, BLOs were being used for Congress party propaganda instead of carrying out their official duties.

“In Sagar, BLOs are being used for campaigning in favour of the Congress. The Chief Minister must immediately correct this,” Vijayendra claimed.
