Which SIR should be considered correct: the Central Election Commission's or the State Election Commission's? - Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow, Jan 11 (UNI) Samajwadi Party (SP) national president and former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has raised serious questions about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Uttar Pradesh.
He said that the SIR for the assembly elections' voter list was conducted by the Central Election Commission, while the SIR for the panchayat elections' voter list was conducted by the State Election Commission. He asked which of the two SIRs is correct, since both sets of figures cannot be accurate simultaneously.
Posting on his social media account on Sunday, Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the same BLOs (Booth Level Officers) were deployed everywhere in both SIR processes, yet a major contradiction has emerged in the figures.
