Representative image Times News NetworkNew Delhi: Buoyed by the SC’s endorsement of SIR, which has received flak from the opposition, BJP said Congress has encountered “total defeat” and targeted Rahul Gandhi for travelling to Car Nicobar and Vietnam during elections and then looking for a scapegoat in EC after his party’s losses.”Opposition’s efforts to cover up its political incompetence by tainting all democratic institutions today proved unsuccessful and ineffective on the floor of the Supreme Court,” BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, especially blaming Congress and Rahul for stirring a controversy over the SIR of electoral rolls.He said opposition parties, particularly Congress, had already suffered political defeat in elections and moral defeat as well due to the absence of popular support for their attempt to trigger anarchy in the country over the issue. They have now suffered a constitutional defeat as well, he told reporters.He said the SC verdict has “destroyed” the very basis of opposition to the exercise.Amid scenes of suspected infiltrators leaving West Bengal for Bangladesh fearing a crackdown by the BJP govt, Trivedi said this has only validated his party’s stand and pointed out that some of them had admitted on camera to voting in previous polls. He said, “The true character of the opposition alliance has now been exposed – it is anti-Sanatan Dharma and protective of infiltrators.”Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Bakrid wishes, messages and eid 2026!End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosExplained: What Is The CMRL-Exalogic Case Linked To ED Raids On Ex-Kerala CM Pinarayi VijayanTMC MLAs Stage Sit-In Over Delay In LoP Status, Office Space AllocationGiant Messi Statue Strapped With Ropes As Kolkata Prepares Removal After It Was ‘Swaying In Wind’India’s Private Sector Is Building a Stealth Fighter.
