Government and BJP Roll Out Strategy to Handle Delhi Voter List Protests

UPDATE - follow-up to How BJP, Modi government step up to counter Delhi protests: The BJP and the Union government are using a multi-pronged plan to manage ongoing protests in Delhi by opposition parties against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over voter list revisions.

Action Plan

While the Election Commission directs states to add back eligible voters removed during the Special Intensive Revision, the government has shifted permitted protest sites away from Jantar Mantar to larger venues like Ramlila Maidan. The BJP is also focusing its political messaging on the issue of infiltrators and demographic changes.
