India, Nov. 20 -- Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of creating unnecessary controversy over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that the situation had arisen due to the commission's "foolishness". Responding to questions from reporters here, Gehlot said, "This has become a major issue, and the biggest mistake is that of the ECI."
