Meghwal Defends Voter List Revision, Slams Congress's 'Hypocritical' Opposition

• Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal stated the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is constitutionally valid and has been undertaken many times.
• Meghwal linked SIR to B.R. Ambedkar's principle of "one person, one vote, one value" and aims to remove ineligible voters.
• The initiative began in Bihar and will expand to 12 other states, including Chhattisgarh, Kerala, and Goa.
• He noted the Supreme Court has affirmed the Election Commission's power to conduct SIR.
• Meghwal criticized Congress for opposing SIR, citing past instances and their alleged actions against Ambedkar.

Why It Matters: The debate over voter list revisions affects election fairness and representation.
