Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will not permit the deletion of any genuine votes during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, set to commence on June 15, 2023. He warned against attempts to create 'fake votes' for any political party and assured that AAP representatives will be present at every polling booth to monitor the process. Mann called on the Election Commission of India (ECI) to address concerns raised by political parties and ensure the SIR is conducted with honesty and transparency. He emphasized that while the names of deceased individuals and those who have moved abroad should be removed, no genuine voter should face any denial of their voting rights. Additionally, Mann criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his foreign trips, questioning his call for citizens to limit their own travel while he continues to travel abroad. He also condemned the central government's rising fuel prices, suggesting that the country has not achieved its potential as a global leader due to these issues.
