“Why is this being done,” INDIA Bloc questions EC over revision of voter list ahead of Bihar polls

Patna (Bihar), June 27, 2025 (ANI): INDIA Alliance has raised concerns and questioned the Election Commission over the recent revision of the voter list ahead of the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. The alliance has alleged that the timing and nature of the changes could impact the fairness and transparency of the electoral process, demanding clarity and justification from the EC. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said, "The Election Commission has announced a special revision of the voter list in Bihar... This means that the voter list of 8 crore Biharis have been sidelined and a new list will be generated. Why is this being done 2 months before the elections? Is it possible to develop the voters' list for eight crore people within 25 days?... The documents demanded are such that the poor may not even have them... Our delegation will approach the election commission regarding this matter. CM Nitish Kumar and PM Modi are scared... They want the names of the poor to be removed from the voter list... They want to snatch the right to vote from the poor section of the society."
