I don't trust Election Commission and its SIR; SC's advisory opinion is a setback: Tamil Nadu's Minister for Information Technology, P. Thiaga Rajan, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. .......................................... In an interview to discuss both the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls presently underway in Tamil Nadu as well as yesterday's Supreme Court advisory opinion on how Governors and the President respond to state legislation, Tamil Nadu's Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, P. Thiaga Rajan, has said that he doesn't trust the Election Commission and has enumerated in detail why he has great suspicions and doubts about the Special Intensive Revision presently underway in Tamil Nadu. Mr. Thiaga Rajan has also said that the Supreme Court's advisory opinion of yesterday on how Governors and the President handle legislation is a setback for all state governments, particularly those of the opposition which serve under a BJP-appointed intrusive Governor. Mr. Thiaga Rajan has made clear that he disagrees with his party colleague T. K. S. Elangovan's opinion that the advisory is a good judgement. If you want a detailed and comprehensive understanding of how the Tamil Nadu government is responding to the SIR exercise presently underway in the state I would strongly suggest you watch the first half of this interview, which is about precisely that subject. If you want to understand how Mr. Thiaga Rajan responds to the Supreme Court's advisory opinion of yesterday, I would suggest you watch the second half of this interview.
