Winter Session: Oppn Corners Govt on 'SIR 2.0' & BLO Deaths; PM Modi Slams 'Drama'

The Winter Session of Parliament begins with a contentious debate as the opposition challenges the government over the Election Commission’s 'SIR 2.0' (Special Intensive Revision) exercise, citing allegations of voter suppression. This special report examines the controversy, which has been intensified by the reported deaths of multiple Booth Level Officers (BLOs) due to work pressure, including the suicide of Suresh Singh in Moradabad. The program features a discussion with BJP's Pradeep Bhandari, who calls the opposition's claims 'theatre', and Congress's Salman Soz, who demands accountability. The focus then shifts to Maharashtra, detailing internal strife within the ruling Mahayuti alliance ahead of municipal polls. Tensions between Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and the BJP are highlighted by MLA Nilesh Rane’s bribery allegations against BJP Minister Ravindra Chavan, exposing deep rifts in the state coalition.
