Bihar Voter List Row: Opposition Cry Foul, Demand Parliament Debate
Opposition parties in Bihar have launched a scathing attack against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise voters. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is leading the charge, joined by several other parties.
They claim the revision process is riddled with irregularities and is designed to favour the ruling party. Accusations of systematic exclusion of eligible voters are rife.
The opposition’s demand for a comprehensive parliamentary discussion on the matter has been met with resistance from the government. Official sources cite procedural hurdles and legal limitations as reasons for declining the request.
A large protest march to the Election Commission of India is planned for the coming days. The opposition vows to continue its fight against what it terms an anti-democratic move.
The controversy highlights deep concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in Bihar and raises serious questions about the fairness and transparency of the upcoming elections. The outcome of this political battle will undoubtedly have significant implications for the state’s political landscape.
