Bihar's opposition, led by Tejashwi Yadav, is protesting the voter list revision, citing voter inconvenience and document exclusion. Nine parties, including Congress, have challenged the process in Supreme Court.
In a dramatic escalation ahead of the Bihar assembly elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to halt the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state, citing severe inconvenience to voters and questionable exclusion of widely held identity documents.
Yadav, speaking at a press conference alongside INDIA bloc allies, said, “This exercise should be put on hold till elections. The EC will do well to have a word with its booth-level officers who are facing the ire of voters while collecting data.”
