Bihar Voter Rolls: INDIA Bloc’s Nine-Day Parliament Siege
The INDIA bloc, spearheaded by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, staged a nine-day protest within Parliament. Their target: the Election Commission’s recent revision of Bihar’s voter rolls.
The MPs allege the revision is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise voters, accusing the Election Commission of collusion with the ruling government. They demand an immediate rollback of the changes.
The opposition coalition has repeatedly sought a detailed parliamentary discussion on the matter, highlighting concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. Their persistent protests underscore the gravity of the issue.
This escalating political showdown raises serious questions about the fairness and transparency of the upcoming elections in Bihar. The INDIA bloc’s sustained pressure campaign will likely intensify scrutiny of the Election Commission’s actions and their potential impact on the democratic process. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the Election Commission’s response and the government’s position on this contentious issue.
