Bihar Polls: Opposition’s SOS to Supreme Court over Electoral Roll Revision
The upcoming Bihar elections are shrouded in controversy, with opposition parties launching a fervent legal challenge against the Election Commission’s Special Electoral Roll Revision (SIR). Their primary concern? Widespread voter disenfranchisement.
The move, initiated ahead of the crucial state polls, has sparked a fierce political battle. Opposition parties allege the revision process is deeply flawed and will systematically exclude eligible voters.
The BJP, however, stands firmly behind the EC’s decision, viewing the revision as a necessary step to ensure electoral integrity. This starkly contrasting stance has further intensified the political tension.
The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions challenging the legality of the SIR on July 10. The outcome will significantly impact the electoral landscape of Bihar and potentially set precedents for future elections across the nation.
The court’s decision will not only shape the Bihar elections but also influence electoral processes nationwide, impacting millions of voters. The stakes are undeniably high.
