BJP defends electoral processes, cites SC backing

The BJP has responded to opposition charges against the Scrutiny of Invalid Votes (SIR) process by defending the functioning of democratic institutions. The party said communication between the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners demonstrates a healthy democracy at work.

The BJP stated that the Supreme Court has upheld the legal validity of the SIR process on multiple occasions, dismissing opposition allegations. The party framed the exchange between electoral bodies as evidence of transparent institutional functioning rather than grounds for concern.
