Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday criticised Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant after he reportedly declined to meet Opposition leaders, including Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, amid the INDIA bloc’s planned march to the Supreme Court over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Speaking to ANI, Raut said the Opposition had sought an appointment with the CJI to raise concerns over alleged electoral fraud and the deletion of voters’ names from electoral rolls. He criticised the reported refusal, saying citizens would remember the decision.
