<h1>Opposition accuses election regulator of acting as ruling party arm, blocking Aadhaar in SIR and vows grassroots agitation</h1> A senior opposition official alleged the election regulator has become effectively a department of the ruling national party and accused it of enabling 'vote chori' by resisting inclusion of Aadhaar as identity for a Special Intensive Revision of rolls despite a Supreme Court directive. The official said the SIR serves partisan ends rather than democratic integrity and announced continued agitation. The opposition party framed itself as the sole active challenger in the state, pledging to campaign on vote fraud, unemployment and issues affecting women and tribal communities, and to reorganize at district, block and booth levels; a recent regional-party defector joined its ranks.
