Bihar Voter Roll Row: INDIA Bloc to Storm Parliament, Accuses BJP of Rigging
The INDIA alliance, including the Aam Aadmi Party, is mounting pressure on the Modi government to address concerns over Bihar’s ongoing electoral roll revision (SIR). The opposition alleges the process is systematically disenfranchising a significant number of voters, disproportionately impacting Dalit and OBC communities.
The alliance claims the Special Summary Revision is being manipulated to benefit the BJP. They point to irregularities and widespread complaints of name deletions as evidence of a deliberate attempt to rig the upcoming elections.
A major protest is planned for August 11th outside the Election Commission’s office in Delhi. The INDIA bloc intends to use this demonstration to amplify its demands for a thorough investigation into the matter.
The opposition’s strategy includes escalating pressure in Parliament. They will actively seek a discussion on the Bihar voter roll issue, aiming to expose what they term a blatant attempt to undermine democratic processes.
This controversy highlights growing concerns about the integrity of electoral rolls across India. The upcoming elections are crucial, and the allegations of voter suppression could have far-reaching consequences for the political landscape.
