Opposition Alleges Irregularities in Bihar Voter List Revision by Election Commission
Opposition leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Dipankar Bhattacharya have accused the Election Commission of India, particularly Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, of irregularities in Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. They allege wrongful deletion of living voters from electoral rolls and claim the commission operates under government influence. Surveys cited report significant errors in voter deletions, including voters marked deceased who are alive. The opposition demands greater election transparency, including paper ballots, and has raised concerns about constitutional independence and election fairness.
