Bihar Rolls Row: Opposition Storms Lok Sabha, Demands Scrutiny
Opposition parties created a ruckus in the Lok Sabha on Saturday, August 2, 2025, demanding a special discussion on the controversial Bihar electoral roll revision. Their concerns centre around the perceived lack of transparency and the timing of the revision, especially with state elections looming.
The uproar, led by several key opposition figures, focused on allegations of irregularities and potential voter suppression in the ongoing SIR process. They argued the current timeline leaves insufficient time for proper scrutiny and redressal of grievances.
The protests forced an adjournment of the Lok Sabha, preventing the scheduled discussion of a key bill. The opposition’s actions highlight growing anxieties about the fairness and integrity of the upcoming Bihar elections.
This disruption underscores the deep political divide over the electoral roll revision and raises serious questions about the upcoming elections. The demand for a thorough investigation into the process is likely to intensify in the coming days, adding more fuel to the already heated political climate in the state.
